-#### version
+### Hidden Lockfiles
-The version of the package this is a package-lock for. This must match what's in
-`package.json`.
+In order to avoid processing the `node_modules` folder repeatedly, npm as
+of v7 uses a "hidden" lockfile present in
+`node_modules/.package-lock.json`. This contains information about the
+tree, and is used in lieu of reading the entire `node_modules` hierarchy
+provided that the following conditions are met:
-#### lockfileVersion
+- All package folders it references exist in the `node_modules` hierarchy.
+- No package folders exist in the `node_modules` hierarchy that are not
+ listed in the lockfile.
+- The modified time of the file is at least as recent as all of the package
+ folders it references.
-An integer version, starting at `1` with the version number of this document
-whose semantics were used when generating this `package-lock.json`.
+That is, the hidden lockfile will only be relevant if it was created as
+part of the most recent update to the package tree. If another CLI mutates
+the tree in any way, this will be detected, and the hidden lockfile will be
+ignored.
-#### packageIntegrity
+Note that it _is_ possible to manually change the _contents_ of a package
+in such a way that the modified time of the package folder is unaffected.
+For example, if you add a file to `node_modules/foo/lib/bar.js`, then the
+modified time on `node_modules/foo` will not reflect this change. If you
+are manually editing files in `node_modules`, it is generally best to
+delete the file at `node_modules/.package-lock.json`.
-This is a [subresource
-integrity](https://w3c.github.io/webappsec/specs/subresourceintegrity/) value
-created from the `package.json`. No preprocessing of the `package.json` should
-be done. Subresource integrity strings can be produced by modules like
-[`ssri`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/ssri).
+As the hidden lockfile is ignored by older npm versions, it does not
+contain the backwards compatibility affordances present in "normal"
+lockfiles. That is, it is `lockfileVersion: 3`, rather than
+`lockfileVersion: 2`.
-#### preserveSymlinks
+### Handling Old Lockfiles
-Indicates that the install was done with the environment variable
-`NODE_PRESERVE_SYMLINKS` enabled. The installer should insist that the value of
-this property match that environment variable.
+When npm detects a lockfile from npm v6 or before during the package

+`node_modules` trees or very old lockfile formats) the npm registry.

-* http tarball sources: This is the URL of the tarball. (eg, `https://example.com/example-1.3.0.tgz`)
-* local tarball sources: This is the file URL of the tarball. (eg `file:///opt/storage/example-1.3.0.tgz`)

-##### integrity
+#### `lockfileVersion`
-This is a [Standard Subresource

-resource.
+An integer version, starting at `1` with the version number of this

-* For bundled dependencies this is not included, regardless of source.
-* For registry sources, this is the `integrity` that the registry provided, or if one wasn't provided the SHA1 in `shasum`.
-* For git sources this is the specific commit hash we cloned from.
-* For remote tarball sources this is an integrity based on a SHA512 of
- the file.
-* For local tarball sources: This is an integrity field based on the SHA512 of the file.
+Note that the file format changed significantly in npm v7 to track
+information that would have otherwise required looking in `node_modules` or
+the npm registry. Lockfiles generated by npm v7 will contain
+`lockfileVersion: 2`.
-##### resolved
+* No version provided: an "ancient" shrinkwrap file from a version of npm
+ prior to npm v5.
+* `1`: The lockfile version used by npm v5 and v6.
+* `2`: The lockfile version used by npm v7, which is backwards compatible
+ to v1 lockfiles.
+* `3`: The lockfile version used by npm v7, _without_ backwards
+ compatibility affordances. This is used for the hidden lockfile at
+ `node_modules/.package-lock.json`, and will likely be used in a future
+ version of npm, once support for npm v6 is no longer relevant.
-* For bundled dependencies this is not included, regardless of source.
-* For registry sources this is path of the tarball relative to the registry
- URL. If the tarball URL isn't on the same server as the registry URL then
- this is a complete URL.
+npm will always attempt to get whatever data it can out of a lockfile, even
+if it is not a version that it was designed to support.
-##### bundled
+#### `packages`

-module. When installing, this module will be extracted from the parent
-module during the extract phase, not installed as a separate dependency.
+This is an object that maps package locations to an object containing the
+information about that package.
-##### dev
+The root project is typically listed with a key of `""`, and all other
+packages are listed with their relative paths from the root project folder.
-If true then this dependency is either a development dependency ONLY of the
-top level module or a transitive dependency of one. This is false for

-transitive dependency of a non-optional dependency of the top level.
+* resolved: The place where the package was actually resolved from. In
+ the case of packages fetched from the registry, this will be a url to a
+ tarball. In the case of git dependencies, this will be the full git url
+ with commit sha. In the case of link dependencies, this will be the

+ present, no other fields are specified, since the link target will also
+ be included in the lockfile.
-##### requires
+* dev, optional, devOptional: If the package is strictly part of the

-description: An explanation of npm lockfiles
----
-
-### Description
-
-Conceptually, the "input" to [`npm install`](/commands/npm-install) is a [package.json](/configuring-npm/package-json), while its
-"output" is a fully-formed `node_modules` tree: a representation of the
-dependencies you declared. In an ideal world, npm would work like a pure
-function: the same `package.json` should produce the exact same `node_modules`
-tree, any time. In some cases, this is indeed true. But in many others, npm is
-unable to do this. There are multiple reasons for this:
-
-* different versions of npm (or other package managers) may have been used to install a package, each using slightly different installation algorithms.
-
-* a new version of a direct semver-range package may have been published since the last time your packages were installed, and thus a newer version will be used.
-
-* A dependency of one of your dependencies may have published a new version, which will update even if you used pinned dependency specifiers (`1.2.3` instead of `^1.2.3`)
-
-* The registry you installed from is no longer available, or allows mutation of versions (unlike the primary npm registry), and a different version of a package exists under the same version number now.
-
-As an example, consider package A:
-
-```json
-{
- "name": "A",
- "version": "0.1.0",
- "dependencies": {
- "B": "<0.1.0"
- }
-}
-```
-
-package B:
-
-```json
-{
- "name": "B",
- "version": "0.0.1",
- "dependencies": {
- "C": "<0.1.0"
- }
-}
-```
-
-and package C:
-```json
-{
- "name": "C",
- "version": "0.0.1"
-}
-```
-
-If these are the only versions of A, B, and C available in the
-registry, then a normal `npm install A` will install:
-
-```json
-A@0.1.0
-`-- B@0.0.1
- `-- C@0.0.1
-```
-
-However, if B@0.0.2 is published, then a fresh `npm install A` will
-install:
-
-```bash
-A@0.1.0
-`-- B@0.0.2
- `-- C@0.0.1
-```
-
-assuming the new version did not modify B's dependencies. Of course,
-the new version of B could include a new version of C and any number
-of new dependencies. If such changes are undesirable, the author of A
-could specify a dependency on B@0.0.1. However, if A's author and B's
-author are not the same person, there's no way for A's author to say
-that he or she does not want to pull in newly published versions of C
-when B hasn't changed at all.
-
-To prevent this potential issue, npm uses [package-lock.json](/configuring-npm/package-lock-json) or, if present, [npm-shrinkwrap.json](/configuring-npm/shrinkwrap-json). These files are called package locks, or lockfiles.
-
-Whenever you run `npm install`, npm generates or updates your package lock,
-which will look something like this:
-
-```json
-{
- "name": "A",
- "version": "0.1.0",
- ...metadata fields...
- "dependencies": {
- "B": {
- "version": "0.0.1",
- "resolved": "https://registry.npmjs.org/B/-/B-0.0.1.tgz",
- "integrity": "sha512-DeAdb33F+"
- "dependencies": {
- "C": {
- "version": "git://github.com/org/C.git#5c380ae319fc4efe9e7f2d9c78b0faa588fd99b4"
- }
- }
- }
- }
-}
-```
-
-This file describes an *exact*, and more importantly *reproducible*
-`node_modules` tree. Once it's present, any future installation will base its
-work off this file, instead of recalculating dependency versions off
-[package.json](/configuring-npm/package-json).
-
-The presence of a package lock changes the installation behavior such that:
-
-1. The module tree described by the package lock is reproduced. This means
-reproducing the structure described in the file, using the specific files
-referenced in "resolved" if available, falling back to normal package resolution
-using "version" if one isn't.
-
-2. The tree is walked and any missing dependencies are installed in the usual
-fashion.
-
-If `preshrinkwrap`, `shrinkwrap` or `postshrinkwrap` are in the `scripts`
-property of the `package.json`, they will be executed in order. `preshrinkwrap`
-and `shrinkwrap` are executed before the shrinkwrap, `postshrinkwrap` is
-executed afterwards. These scripts run for both `package-lock.json` and
-`npm-shrinkwrap.json`. For example to run some postprocessing on the generated
-file:
-
-```json
- "scripts": {
- "postshrinkwrap": "json -I -e \"this.myMetadata = $MY_APP_METADATA\""
- }
-```
-
-#### Using locked packages
-
-Using a locked package is no different than using any package without a package
-lock: any commands that update `node_modules` and/or `package.json`'s
-dependencies will automatically sync the existing lockfile. This includes `npm
-install`, `npm rm`, `npm update`, etc. To prevent this update from happening,
-you can use the `--no-save` option to prevent saving altogether, or
-`--no-shrinkwrap` to allow `package.json` to be updated while leaving
-`package-lock.json` or `npm-shrinkwrap.json` intact.
-
-It is highly recommended you commit the generated package lock to source
-control: this will allow anyone else on your team, your deployments, your
-CI/continuous integration, and anyone else who runs `npm install` in your
-package source to get the exact same dependency tree that you were developing
-on. Additionally, the diffs from these changes are human-readable and will
-inform you of any changes npm has made to your `node_modules`, so you can notice
-if any transitive dependencies were updated, hoisted, etc.
-
-#### Resolving lockfile conflicts
-
-Occasionally, two separate npm install will create package locks that cause
-merge conflicts in source control systems. As of `npm@5.7.0`, these conflicts
-can be resolved by manually fixing any `package.json` conflicts, and then
-running `npm install [--package-lock-only]` again. npm will automatically
-resolve any conflicts for you and write a merged package lock that includes all
-the dependencies from both branches in a reasonable tree. If
-`--package-lock-only` is provided, it will do this without also modifying your
-local `node_modules/`.
-
-To make this process seamless on git, consider installing
-[`npm-merge-driver`](https://npm.im/npm-merge-driver), which will teach git how
-to do this itself without any user interaction. In short: `$ npx
-npm-merge-driver install -g` will let you do this, and even works with
-pre-`npm@5.7.0` versions of npm 5, albeit a bit more noisily. Note that if
-`package.json` itself conflicts, you will have to resolve that by hand and run
-`npm install` manually, even with the merge driver.
