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.
If both package-lock.json and npm-shrinkwrap.json are present in a
package root, npm-shrinkwrap.json will be preferred over the
package-lock.json file.
For full details and description of the npm-shrinkwrap.json file format,
refer to the manual page for
package-lock.json.
