lockfile-changed

This package is a quick and easy way of figuring out whether or not package.json has been modified.

It contains mainly code extracted from install-changed.

install-changed will run npm install when dependencies have changed. lockfile-changed also provides this functionality. However, it does give you more control on what should happen when dependencies in your package.json file have changed.

Install

You can find this package on npm and can install it with:

npm install lockfile-changed

However, you can use it without having to install it using npx:

npx lockfile-changed

Documentation

CLI

Use lockfile-changed simply by running following from your project root:

npx lockfile-changed

This is, in fact, a shorthand for the following commands:

npx lockfile-changed run "npm install"

or if you have an environmental variable CI with value set to true then it will run:

npx lockfile-changed run "npm ci"

However, using the run command you can specify any command which you want to run in case your dependencies have changed since the last run.

npx lockfile-changed run "echo 'Run any command when your package has changed'"
