A consistent shrinkwrap tool
$ npm-shinkwrap
This will run shrinkwrap and then purge your shrinkwrap file
of any from fields that are not needed.
$ npm-shrinkwrap --fresh
This deletes the shrinkwrap & node_modules folders, then runs
npm install and then runs npm-shrinkwrap
$ npm-shrinkwrap --warn
Checks your git staging area and complains if package.json
is edited but npm-shrinkwrap.json is not edited.
This is great to run in a pre-commit hook
There are a few tricks to ensuring there is no unneeded churn
in the output of npm shrinkwrap.
This first is to ensure you install with npm cache clear so
that an npm ls output is going to consistently give you the
resolved and from fields.
The second is to just delete all from fields from the
generated shrinkwrap file since they change a lot but are
never used. However you can only delete some from fields,
not all.
var npmShrinkwrap = require("npm-shrinkwrap");
npmShrinkwrap({
fresh: true
}, function (err, shrinkwrap) {
// all done
})npm install npm-shrinkwrap
npm test
