npm-shrinkwrap.json(5) -- A publishable lockfile
=====================================================
## DESCRIPTION
`npm-shrinkwrap.json` is a file created by npm-shrinkwrap(1). It is identical to
`package-lock.json`, with one major caveat: Unlike `package-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 `devDependencies`. It's
strongly discouraged for library authors to publish this file, since that would
prevent end users from having control over transitive dependency updates.
Additionally, if both `package-lock.json` and `npm-shrinkwrap.json` are present
in a package root, `package-lock.json` will be ignored in favor of this file.
For full details and description of the `npm-shrinkwrap.json` file format, refer
to the manual page for package-lock.json(5).
