This seems like an unnecessary space hog. If you are that concerned about reproducibility isn't that what npm shrinkwrap tries to solve?

- orliesaurus 5y agoyeah dependency fixing is the way to do it with NPM shrinkwrap you lock down the version of the package you installed and their deps. That way you can use the same package on all envs. Helps with testing and debugging as you're removing a variable (bad deps, outdated deps, newer deps etc)

- davidjytang 5y agoI don't get why we are concerned about space. Space at this scale (never reached GB level) is so cheap and easy, to me at least, yet reproducibility is not.
