Description
The package lock file (commonly package-lock.json for npm or yarn.lock for Yarn) is automatically generated when a package is installed or updated. This file ensures that the exact versions of each package are installed in all environments (development, staging, production). Unlike the package manifest file, which may define a range of acceptable versions for dependencies (e.g., ^1.0.0), the lock file locks the exact version that was installed, ensuring consistent behavior across all environments. The lock file records both direct and transitive dependencies, guaranteeing that every team member or build system installs the same package versions. This avoids issues where slightly different versions of a package might cause unexpected behavior. This file is important for ensuring deterministic builds and for managing dependency resolution, reducing bugs or version conflicts.
