What is @pnpm/lockfile-file?

@pnpm/lockfile-file is a utility package for handling lockfiles in the pnpm package manager. It provides functionalities to read, write, and manipulate lockfiles, which are essential for ensuring consistent and reproducible builds in a pnpm-managed project.

What are @pnpm/lockfile-file's main functionalities?

Read Lockfile

This feature allows you to read the wanted lockfile from a specified directory. The `readWantedLockfile` function reads the lockfile and returns its contents, which can be used for further processing or analysis.

const { readWantedLockfile } = require('@pnpm/lockfile-file');
const lockfile = readWantedLockfile('/path/to/project', { ignoreIncompatible: false });
console.log(lockfile);

Write Lockfile

This feature allows you to write a lockfile to a specified directory. The `writeWantedLockfile` function takes the directory path and the lockfile content as arguments and writes the lockfile to the specified location.

const { writeWantedLockfile } = require('@pnpm/lockfile-file');
const lockfile = { /* lockfile content */ };
writeWantedLockfile('/path/to/project', lockfile);
console.log('Lockfile written successfully');

Update Lockfile

This feature allows you to update an existing lockfile with new information. The `updateLockfile` function takes the current lockfile content and the updates as arguments and returns the updated lockfile.

const { updateLockfile } = require('@pnpm/lockfile-file');
const lockfile = { /* existing lockfile content */ };
const updatedLockfile = updateLockfile(lockfile, { /* updates */ });
console.log(updatedLockfile);

README

@pnpm/lockfile-file

Read/write pnpm-lock.yaml files

Reads and writes the wanted (pnpm-lock.yaml) and current (node_modules/.pnpm-lock.yaml) lockfile files of pnpm. Lockfile files are the state files of the node_modules installed via pnpm. They are like the package-lock.json of npm or the yarn.lock of Yarn.

Install

pnpm add @pnpm/lockfile-file

API

readWantedLockfile(pkgPath, opts) => Promise<Lockfile>

Reads the pnpm-lock.yaml file from the root of the package.

Arguments

• pkgPath - Path - the path to the project
• opts.ignoreIncompatible - Boolean - false by default. If true, throws an error if the lockfile file format is not compatible with the current library.

readCurrentLockfile(virtualStoreDir, opts) => Promise<Lockfile>

Reads the lockfile file from <virtualStoreDir>/lock.yaml.

existsWantedLockfile(pkgPath) => Promise<Boolean>

Returns true if a pnpm-lock.yaml exists in the root of the package.

writeLockfiles(opts) => Promise<void>

Writes the wanted/current lockfile files. When they are empty, removes them.

Arguments

• opts.wantedLockfile
• opts.wantedLockfileDir
• opts.currentLockfile
• opts.currentLockfileDir
• [opts.forceSharedFormat]

writeWantedLockfile(pkgPath, wantedLockfile) => Promise<void>

Writes the wanted lockfile file only. Sometimes it is needed just to update the wanted lockfile without touching node_modules.

writeCurrentLockfile(virtualStoreDir, currentLockfile) => Promise<void>

Writes the current lockfile file only.
