\fBnpm-dedupe\fR \- Reduce duplication
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.P
|
|
.RS 2
|
|
.nf
|
|
npm dedupe [package names\.\.\.]
|
|
npm ddp [package names\.\.\.]

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.P
|
|
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\.
|
|
.P
|
|
For example, consider this dependency graph:
|
|
.P
|
|
.RS 2
|
|
.nf
|
|
a
|
|
+\-\- b <\-\- depends on c@1\.0\.x
|
|
| `\-\- c@1\.0\.3
|
|
`\-\- d <\-\- depends on c@~1\.0\.9
|
|
`\-\- c@1\.0\.10
|
|
.fi
|
|
.RE
|
|
.P
|
|
In this case, npm help \fBnpm\-dedupe\fP will transform the tree to:
|
|
.P
|
|
.RS 2
|
|
.nf
|
|
a
|
|
+\-\- b
|
|
+\-\- d
|
|
`\-\- c@1\.0\.10
|
|
.fi
|
|
.RE
|
|
.P
|
|
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\.
|
|
.P
|
|
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\.
|
|
.P
|
|
If no suitable version can be found, then a warning is printed, and
|
|
nothing is done\.
|
|
.P
|
|
If any arguments are supplied, then they are filters, and only the
|
|
named packages will be touched\.
|
|
.P
|
|
Note that this operation transforms the dependency tree, and may
|
|
result in packages getting updated versions, perhaps from the npm
|
|
registry\.
|
|
.P
|
|
This feature is experimental, and may change in future versions\.
|
|
.P
|
|
The \fB\-\-tag\fP argument will apply to all of the affected dependencies\. If a
|
|
tag with the given name exists, the tagged version is preferred over newer
|
|
versions\.
