NAME

6       npm-shrinkwrap.json - A publishable lockfile
7
8   Description
9       npm-shrinkwrap.json  is  a  file  created by npm help shrinkwrap. It is
10       identical to package-lock.json, with one major caveat: Unlike  package-
11       lock.json,  npm-shrinkwrap.json may be included when publishing a pack‐
12       age.
13
14       The recommended use-case for npm-shrinkwrap.json  is  applications  de‐
15       ployed  through  the  publishing  process on the registry: for example,
16       daemons and command-line tools intended as global installs or devDepen‐
17       dencies.  It's strongly discouraged for library authors to publish this
18       file, since that would prevent end users from having control over tran‐
19       sitive dependency updates.
20
21       If  both  package-lock.json  and  npm-shrinkwrap.json  are present in a
22       package root, npm-shrinkwrap.json will be preferred over  the  package-
23       lock.json file.
24
25       For  full  details and description of the npm-shrinkwrap.json file for‐
26       mat, refer to the  manual  page  for  package-lock.json  ⟨/configuring-
27       npm/package-lock-json⟩.
