\nThis package modifies package-lock.json to force the installation of specified versions of a set of transitive dependencies (dependencies of dependencies).\n
\n\n---\n\n### Getting started\n\n1. Add a field `resolutions` with the dependency version you want to fix at the main level of your `package.json`.\n\nExample:\n\n```json\n\"resolutions\": {\n \"ssri\": \"8.0.5\"\n}\n```\n\n2. Add force-resolutions to the preinstall script so that it patches the `package-lock.json` file before every `npm install`:\n\n```json\n\"scripts\": {\n \"preinstall\": \"npx force-resolutions\"\n}\n```\n\n3. Install dependencies\n\n```shell\nnpm install\n```\n\nRemember that whenever you run `npm install`, the `preinstall` command will run automatically.\n\nIf a `package.lock.json` is not detected the script will not run, and any other command after it will be executed as normal.\n\n4. To confirm that the right version of the package you are trying to override was installed, use:\n\n```shell\nnpm ls ssri\n```\n\n---\n\n### Running this repository locally\n\n**NodeJS and NPM versions**\nNodeJS version:\n\n```shell\nv16.13.1\n```\n\nNPM version:\n\n```shell\n8.1.2\n```\n\n**Instructions**\n\n1. Install the dependencies of the project:\n\n```shell\nnpm install\n```\n\n2. Build the project:\n\n```shell\nnpm run build\n```\n\n3. Go to the dist folder\n\n```shell\ncd dist\n```\n\n3. Copy a package.json and a package-lock.json file into the dist folder\n\n4. Add a resolutions field in the package.json and inside of it a package to override\n\n5. Run the compiled file\n\n```shell\nnode index.js\n```\n\n5. Search in the package-lock.json to see that the versions of the packages are updated\n\n---\n\n### Why this project was created\n\nThis project was created because **npm-force-resolutions** became not suitable for the necesities the team I was working in had. We needed to avoid triggering the execution of the script when there was no `package-lock.json`, descriptive error logs, descriptive logs during the execution, faster download times, compatibility with multiple npm versions and faster execution times.\n\n---\n\n### Discord community\n\nTo simplify communication I have created a discord community, if you detect an issue with this package or want to improve it in some way, you can contact me here:\n\n[Join discord community](https://discord.gg/fNEEthRGJu)\n\n---\n\n### NPM\n\n[Find the package on NPM](https://www.npmjs.com/package/force-resolutions)\n\n[See other versions of the package on NPM](https://www.npmjs.com/package/force-resolutions?activeTab=versions)\n\n---\n\n### Acknowledgments\n\nThis project was inspired by the next package: [npm-force-resolutions](https://www.npmjs.com/package/npm-force-resolutions).\n\nSpecial thanks to Denis Gulin for contributing to fix issues that were happening with the package and improving the code.","users":{}}
