.TH "NPM\-SHRINKWRAP\.JSON" "5" "August 2020" "" "" .SH "NAME" \fBnpm-shrinkwrap.json\fR \- A publishable lockfile .SS Description .P \fBnpm\-shrinkwrap\.json\fP is a file created by npm help \fBshrinkwrap\fP\|\. It is identical to \fBpackage\-lock\.json\fP, with one major caveat: Unlike \fBpackage\-lock\.json\fP, \fBnpm\-shrinkwrap\.json\fP may be included when publishing a package\. .P The recommended use\-case for \fBnpm\-shrinkwrap\.json\fP is applications deployed through the publishing process on the registry: for example, daemons and command\-line tools intended as global installs or \fBdevDependencies\fP\|\. It's strongly discouraged for library authors to publish this file, since that would prevent end users from having control over transitive dependency updates\. .P Additionally, if both \fBpackage\-lock\.json\fP and \fBnpm\-shrinkwrap\.json\fP are present in a package root, \fBpackage\-lock\.json\fP will be ignored in favor of this file\. .P For full details and description of the \fBnpm\-shrinkwrap\.json\fP file format, refer to the manual page for npm help package\-lock\.json\. .SS See also .RS 0 .IP \(bu 2 npm help shrinkwrap .IP \(bu 2 npm help package\-lock\.json .IP \(bu 2 npm help package\.json .IP \(bu 2 npm help install .RE
