@lavamoat/aa

LavaMoat's canonical package name convention.

Named after a type of lava: ʻAʻā https://volcanoes.usgs.gov/vsc/glossary/aa.html

goals

• name that does not soley rely on the package of unknown provenance's self-determined name
• consistent across platform and package manager
• consistent whether only prod dependencies or dev and prod dependencies are installed

scheme

The naming convention is to identify all "logical paths" from the project root to the normalized package disk location and choose the shortest logical path by string length.

For example the path: project/node_modules/xyz

with the logical paths:

• abc>ijk>xyz
• abc>xyz

In this case we would choose the name abc>xyz to represent this package.
