npm-shrinkwrap
A consistent shrinkwrap tool for npm that verifies package.json and node_modules sync, cleans up shrinkwrap files, and provides readable diffs.
What is npm-shrinkwrap?
npm-shrinkwrap is a Node.js tool that enhances npm's native shrinkwrap functionality by ensuring consistency between package.json, npm-shrinkwrap.json, and the node_modules directory. It verifies git tags, normalizes shrinkwrap output to reduce diff noise, and provides human-readable diffs for dependency changes. The tool solves issues where manual edits or unsynced installations cause dependency mismatches.
Node.js developers and teams managing projects with locked dependencies using npm shrinkwrap, particularly those needing reliable git tag validation and clean, maintainable shrinkwrap files.
Developers choose npm-shrinkwrap over standard npm shrinkwrap for its rigorous verification of dependency consistency, reduction of unnecessary diff churn in version control, and customizable validation rules, leading to more reliable and maintainable dependency locks.
