A publishable lockfile
Description
npm-shrinkwrap.json
is a file created by npm shrinkwrap
. It is identical to
package-lock.json
, with one major caveat: Unlike package-lock.json
,
npm-shrinkwrap.json
may be included when publishing a package.
The recommended use-case for npm-shrinkwrap.json
is applications deployed
through the publishing process on the registry: for example, daemons and
command-line tools intended as global installs or devDependencies
. It's
strongly discouraged for library authors to publish this file, since that would
prevent end users from having control over transitive dependency updates.
Additionally, if both package-lock.json
and npm-shrinkwrap.json
are present
in a package root, package-lock.json
will be ignored in favor of this file.
For full details and description of the npm-shrinkwrap.json
file format, refer
to the manual page for package-lock.json.
