npm-shrinkwrap-json - A publishable lockfile Description npm-shrinkwrap.json is a file created by npm help npm shrinkwrap. It is identical to package-lock.json, with one major caveat: Unlike pack- age-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 devDepen- dencies. It's strongly discouraged for library authors to publish this file, since that would prevent end users from having control over tran- sitive 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 pack- age-lock.json file. For full details and description of the npm-shrinkwrap.json file for- mat, refer to the manual page for npm help package-lock.json.
