npm-shrinkwrap-install

Automatic synchronise shrinkwrap file with package install/update/uninstall.

Install

$ npm install npm-shrinkwrap-install -g

This is a CLI-only package (for now).

Usage

Install/Update a package

$ npm-install babel@latest --save

You could manually alter the version in package.json and run npm-install as well.

Notice:

Before updating shrinkwrap, the script will try to verify node_modules content with your package.json. Which means:

• Any package not included in dependencies will be pruned. So it is mandatory to use --save when installing new packages.
• Any package with non-strict version description (^, ~, 0.2.x, *, latest) in package.json will be updated. If you which to opt out this automatical update check, just use a strict version like 0.2.3.

Uninstall a package

$ npm-uninstall babel --save

Shrinkwrap file will be automatically in sync with your dependencies in package.json.

Notice:

If --save is omitted, the script will generate an error since node_modules content does not agree with your package.json.

Create shrinkwrap file manually

$ npm-shrinkwrap

Credit

This script is largely based on Uber's npm-shrinkwrap. At the time of the writing, their tool does not support scoped package. A pull-request is created to rectify this issue and yet to be accepted.

As a temporary measure, I've forked their project and applied my patch to support scoped package: @th507/npm-shrinkwrap. npm-shrinkwrap-install is currently dependent upon @th507/npm-shrinkwrap.
