- </section>
- <div id="_content"><h3 id="description">Description</h3>
- <p><code>package-lock.json</code> is automatically generated for any operations where npm
- modifies either the <code>node_modules</code> tree, or <code>package.json</code>. It describes the
- exact tree that was generated, such that subsequent installs are able to
- generate identical trees, regardless of intermediate dependency updates.</p>
- <p>This file is intended to be committed into source repositories, and serves
- various purposes:</p>
- <ul>
- <li>
- <p>Describe a single representation of a dependency tree such that
- teammates, deployments, and continuous integration are guaranteed to
- install exactly the same dependencies.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Provide a facility for users to “time-travel” to previous states of
- <code>node_modules</code> without having to commit the directory itself.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Facilitate greater visibility of tree changes through readable source
- control diffs.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Optimize the installation process by allowing npm to skip repeated
- metadata resolutions for previously-installed packages.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>As of npm v7, lockfiles include enough information to gain a complete
- picture of the package tree, reducing the need to read <code>package.json</code>
- files, and allowing for significant performance improvements.</p>
- </li>
- </ul>
- <h3 id="package-lockjson-vs-npm-shrinkwrapjson"><code>package-lock.json</code> vs <code>npm-shrinkwrap.json</code></h3>
- <p>Both of these files have the same format, and perform similar functions in
- the root of a project.</p>
- <p>The difference is that <code>package-lock.json</code> cannot be published, and it will
- be ignored if found in any place other than the root project.</p>
- <p>In contrast, <a href="../configuring-npm/npm-shrinkwrap-json.html">npm-shrinkwrap.json</a> allows
- publication, and defines the dependency tree from the point encountered.
- This is not recommended unless deploying a CLI tool or otherwise using the
- publication process for producing production packages.</p>
- <p>If both <code>package-lock.json</code> and <code>npm-shrinkwrap.json</code> are present in the
- root of a project, <code>npm-shrinkwrap.json</code> will take precedence and
- <code>package-lock.json</code> will be ignored.</p>
- <h3 id="hidden-lockfiles">Hidden Lockfiles</h3>
- <p>In order to avoid processing the <code>node_modules</code> folder repeatedly, npm as
- of v7 uses a “hidden” lockfile present in
- <code>node_modules/.package-lock.json</code>. This contains information about the
- tree, and is used in lieu of reading the entire <code>node_modules</code> hierarchy
- provided that the following conditions are met:</p>
- <ul>
- <li>All package folders it references exist in the <code>node_modules</code> hierarchy.</li>
- <li>No package folders exist in the <code>node_modules</code> hierarchy that are not
- listed in the lockfile.</li>
- <li>The modified time of the file is at least as recent as all of the package
- folders it references.</li>
- </ul>
- <p>That is, the hidden lockfile will only be relevant if it was created as
- part of the most recent update to the package tree. If another CLI mutates
- the tree in any way, this will be detected, and the hidden lockfile will be
- ignored.</p>
- <p>Note that it <em>is</em> possible to manually change the <em>contents</em> of a package
- in such a way that the modified time of the package folder is unaffected.
- For example, if you add a file to <code>node_modules/foo/lib/bar.js</code>, then the
- modified time on <code>node_modules/foo</code> will not reflect this change. If you
- are manually editing files in <code>node_modules</code>, it is generally best to
- delete the file at <code>node_modules/.package-lock.json</code>.</p>
- <p>As the hidden lockfile is ignored by older npm versions, it does not
- contain the backwards compatibility affordances present in “normal”
- lockfiles. That is, it is <code>lockfileVersion: 3</code>, rather than
- <code>lockfileVersion: 2</code>.</p>
- <h3 id="handling-old-lockfiles">Handling Old Lockfiles</h3>
- <p>When npm detects a lockfile from npm v6 or before during the package
- installation process, it is automatically updated to fetch missing
- information from either the <code>node_modules</code> tree or (in the case of empty
- <code>node_modules</code> trees or very old lockfile formats) the npm registry.</p>
- <h3 id="file-format">File Format</h3>
- <h4 id="name"><code>name</code></h4>
- <p>The name of the package this is a package-lock for. This will match what’s
- in <code>package.json</code>.</p>
- <h4 id="version"><code>version</code></h4>
- <p>The version of the package this is a package-lock for. This will match
- what’s in <code>package.json</code>.</p>
- <h4 id="lockfileversion"><code>lockfileVersion</code></h4>
- <p>An integer version, starting at <code>1</code> with the version number of this
- document whose semantics were used when generating this
- <code>package-lock.json</code>.</p>
- <p>Note that the file format changed significantly in npm v7 to track
- information that would have otherwise required looking in <code>node_modules</code> or
- the npm registry. Lockfiles generated by npm v7 will contain
- <code>lockfileVersion: 2</code>.</p>
- <ul>
- <li>No version provided: an “ancient” shrinkwrap file from a version of npm
- prior to npm v5.</li>
- <li><code>1</code>: The lockfile version used by npm v5 and v6.</li>
- <li><code>2</code>: The lockfile version used by npm v7, which is backwards compatible
- to v1 lockfiles.</li>
- <li><code>3</code>: The lockfile version used by npm v7, <em>without</em> backwards
- compatibility affordances. This is used for the hidden lockfile at
- <code>node_modules/.package-lock.json</code>, and will likely be used in a future
- version of npm, once support for npm v6 is no longer relevant.</li>
- </ul>
- <p>npm will always attempt to get whatever data it can out of a lockfile, even
- if it is not a version that it was designed to support.</p>
- <h4 id="packages"><code>packages</code></h4>
- <p>This is an object that maps package locations to an object containing the
- information about that package.</p>
- <p>The root project is typically listed with a key of <code>""</code>, and all other
- packages are listed with their relative paths from the root project folder.</p>
- <p>Package descriptors have the following fields:</p>
- <ul>
- <li>
- <p>version: The version found in <code>package.json</code></p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>resolved: The place where the package was actually resolved from. In
- the case of packages fetched from the registry, this will be a url to a
- tarball. In the case of git dependencies, this will be the full git url
- with commit sha. In the case of link dependencies, this will be the
- location of the link target. <code>registry.npmjs.org</code> is a magic value meaning
- “the currently configured registry”.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>integrity: A <code>sha512</code> or <code>sha1</code> <a href="https://w3c.github.io/webappsec/specs/subresourceintegrity/">Standard Subresource
- Integrity</a>
- string for the artifact that was unpacked in this location.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>link: A flag to indicate that this is a symbolic link. If this is
- present, no other fields are specified, since the link target will also
- be included in the lockfile.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>dev, optional, devOptional: If the package is strictly part of the
- <code>devDependencies</code> tree, then <code>dev</code> will be true. If it is strictly part
- of the <code>optionalDependencies</code> tree, then <code>optional</code> will be set. If it
- is both a <code>dev</code> dependency <em>and</em> an <code>optional</code> dependency of a non-dev
- dependency, then <code>devOptional</code> will be set. (An <code>optional</code> dependency of
- a <code>dev</code> dependency will have both <code>dev</code> and <code>optional</code> set.)</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>inBundle: A flag to indicate that the package is a bundled dependency.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>hasInstallScript: A flag to indicate that the package has a <code>preinstall</code>,
- <code>install</code>, or <code>postinstall</code> script.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>hasShrinkwrap: A flag to indicate that the package has an
- <code>npm-shrinkwrap.json</code> file.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>bin, license, engines, dependencies, optionalDependencies: fields from
- <code>package.json</code></p>
- </li>
- </ul>
- <h4 id="dependencies">dependencies</h4>
- <p>Legacy data for supporting versions of npm that use <code>lockfileVersion: 1</code>.
- This is a mapping of package names to dependency objects. Because the
- object structure is strictly hierarchical, symbolic link dependencies are
- somewhat challenging to represent in some cases.</p>
- <p>npm v7 ignores this section entirely if a <code>packages</code> section is present,
- but does keep it up to date in order to support switching between npm v6
- and npm v7.</p>
- <p>Dependency objects have the following fields:</p>
- <ul>
- <li>
- <p>version: a specifier that varies depending on the nature of the package,
- and is usable in fetching a new copy of it.</p>
- <ul>
- <li>bundled dependencies: Regardless of source, this is a version number
- that is purely for informational purposes.</li>
- <li>registry sources: This is a version number. (eg, <code>1.2.3</code>)</li>
- <li>git sources: This is a git specifier with resolved committish. (eg,
- <code>git+https://example.com/foo/bar#115311855adb0789a0466714ed48a1499ffea97e</code>)</li>
- <li>http tarball sources: This is the URL of the tarball. (eg,
- <code>https://example.com/example-1.3.0.tgz</code>)</li>
- <li>local tarball sources: This is the file URL of the tarball. (eg
- <code>file:///opt/storage/example-1.3.0.tgz</code>)</li>
- <li>local link sources: This is the file URL of the link. (eg
- <code>file:libs/our-module</code>)</li>
- </ul>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>integrity: A <code>sha512</code> or <code>sha1</code> <a href="https://w3c.github.io/webappsec/specs/subresourceintegrity/">Standard Subresource
- Integrity</a>
- string for the artifact that was unpacked in this location. For git
- dependencies, this is the commit sha.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>resolved: For registry sources this is path of the tarball relative to
- the registry URL. If the tarball URL isn’t on the same server as the
- registry URL then this is a complete URL. <code>registry.npmjs.org</code> is a magic
- value meaning “the currently configured registry”.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>bundled: If true, this is the bundled dependency and will be installed
- by the parent module. When installing, this module will be extracted
- from the parent module during the extract phase, not installed as a
- separate dependency.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>dev: If true then this dependency is either a development dependency ONLY
- of the top level module or a transitive dependency of one. This is false
- for dependencies that are both a development dependency of the top level
- and a transitive dependency of a non-development dependency of the top
- level.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>optional: If true then this dependency is either an optional dependency
- ONLY of the top level module or a transitive dependency of one. This is
- false for dependencies that are both an optional dependency of the top
- level and a transitive dependency of a non-optional dependency of the top
- level.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>requires: This is a mapping of module name to version. This is a list of
- everything this module requires, regardless of where it will be
- installed. The version should match via normal matching rules a
- dependency either in our <code>dependencies</code> or in a level higher than us.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>dependencies: The dependencies of this dependency, exactly as at the top
- level.</p>
