npm-dedupe(1) -- Reduce duplication
|
||
|
|
===================================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
npm dedupe [package names...]
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Searches the local package tree and attempts to simplify the overall
|
||
|
|
structure by moving dependencies further up the tree, where they can
|
||
|
|
be more effectively shared by multiple dependent packages.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For example, consider this dependency graph:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
a
|
||
|
|
+-- b <-- depends on c@1.0.x
|
||
|
|
| `-- c@1.0.3
|
||
|
|
`-- d <-- depends on c@~1.0.9
|
||
|
|
`-- c@1.0.10
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In this case, `npm-dedupe(1)` will transform the tree to:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
a
|
||
|
|
+-- b
|
||
|
|
+-- d
|
||
|
|
`-- c@1.0.10
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Because of the hierarchical nature of node's module lookup, b and d
|
||
|
|
will both get their dependency met by the single c package at the root
|
||
|
|
level of the tree.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If a suitable version exists at the target location in the tree
|
||
|
|
already, then it will be left untouched, but the other duplicates will
|
||
|
|
be deleted.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If no suitable version can be found, then a warning is printed, and
|
||
|
|
nothing is done.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If any arguments are supplied, then they are filters, and only the
|
||
|
|
named packages will be touched.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note that this operation transforms the dependency tree, and may
|
||
|
|
result in packages getting updated versions, perhaps from the npm
|
||
|
|
registry.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This feature is experimental, and may change in future versions.
