title: npm-dedupe
|
|
section: 1
|
|
description: Reduce duplication in the package tree
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
### Synopsis
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm dedupe
|
|
npm ddp
|
|
|
|
aliases: ddp
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 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` will transform the tree to:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
In some cases, you may have a dependency graph like this:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
a
|
|
+-- b <-- depends on c@1.0.x
|
|
+-- c@1.0.3
|
|
`-- d <-- depends on c@1.x
|
|
`-- c@1.9.9
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
During the installation process, the `c@1.0.3` dependency for `b` was
|
|
placed in the root of the tree. Though `d`'s dependency on `c@1.x` could
|
|
have been satisfied by `c@1.0.3`, the newer `c@1.9.0` dependency was used,
|
|
because npm favors updates by default, even when doing so causes
|
|
duplication.
|
|
|
|
Running `npm dedupe` will cause npm to note the duplication and
|
|
re-evaluate, deleting the nested `c` module, because the one in the root is
|
|
sufficient.
|
|
|
|
To prefer deduplication over novelty during the installation process, run
|
|
`npm install --prefer-dedupe` or `npm config set prefer-dedupe true`.
|
|
|
|
Arguments are ignored. Dedupe always acts on the entire tree.
|
|
|
|
Note that this operation transforms the dependency tree, but will never
|
|
result in new modules being installed.
|
|
|
|
Using `npm find-dupes` will run the command in `--dry-run` mode.
|
|
|
|
Note that by default `npm dedupe` will not update the semver values of direct
|
|
dependencies in your project `package.json`, if you want to also update
|
|
values in `package.json` you can run: `npm dedupe --save` (or add the
|
|
`save=true` option to a [configuration file](/configuring-npm/npmrc)
|
|
to make that the default behavior).
|
|
|
|
### Configuration
|
|
|
|
<!-- AUTOGENERATED CONFIG DESCRIPTIONS START -->
|
|
<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
|
|
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->
|
|
#### `global-style`
|
|
|
|
* Default: false
|
|
* Type: Boolean
|
|
|
|
Causes npm to install the package into your local `node_modules` folder with
|
|
the same layout it uses with the global `node_modules` folder. Only your
|
|
direct dependencies will show in `node_modules` and everything they depend
|
|
on will be flattened in their `node_modules` folders. This obviously will
|
|
eliminate some deduping. If used with `legacy-bundling`, `legacy-bundling`
|
|
will be preferred.
|
|
|
|
<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
|
|
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->
|
|
|
|
#### `legacy-bundling`
|
|
|
|
* Default: false
|
|
* Type: Boolean
|
|
|
|
Causes npm to install the package such that versions of npm prior to 1.4,
|
|
such as the one included with node 0.8, can install the package. This
|
|
eliminates all automatic deduping. If used with `global-style` this option
|
|
will be preferred.
|
|
|
|
<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
|
|
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->
|
|
|
|
#### `strict-peer-deps`
|
|
|
|
* Default: false
|
|
* Type: Boolean
|
|
|
|
If set to `true`, and `--legacy-peer-deps` is not set, then _any_
|
|
conflicting `peerDependencies` will be treated as an install failure, even
|
|
if npm could reasonably guess the appropriate resolution based on non-peer
|
|
dependency relationships.
|
|
|
|
By default, conflicting `peerDependencies` deep in the dependency graph will
|
|
be resolved using the nearest non-peer dependency specification, even if
|
|
doing so will result in some packages receiving a peer dependency outside
|
|
the range set in their package's `peerDependencies` object.
|
|
|
|
When such and override is performed, a warning is printed, explaining the
|
|
conflict and the packages involved. If `--strict-peer-deps` is set, then
|
|
this warning is treated as a failure.
|
|
|
|
<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
|
|
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->
|
|
|
|
#### `package-lock`
|
|
|
|
* Default: true
|
|
* Type: Boolean
|
|
|
|
If set to false, then ignore `package-lock.json` files when installing. This
|
|
will also prevent _writing_ `package-lock.json` if `save` is true.
|
|
|
|
When package package-locks are disabled, automatic pruning of extraneous
|
|
modules will also be disabled. To remove extraneous modules with
|
|
package-locks disabled use `npm prune`.
|
|
|
|
<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
|
|
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->
|
|
|
|
#### `omit`
|
|
|
|
* Default: 'dev' if the `NODE_ENV` environment variable is set to
|
|
'production', otherwise empty.
|
|
* Type: "dev", "optional", or "peer" (can be set multiple times)
|
|
|
|
Dependency types to omit from the installation tree on disk.
|
|
|
|
Note that these dependencies _are_ still resolved and added to the
|
|
`package-lock.json` or `npm-shrinkwrap.json` file. They are just not
|
|
physically installed on disk.
|
|
|
|
If a package type appears in both the `--include` and `--omit` lists, then
|
|
it will be included.
|
|
|
|
If the resulting omit list includes `'dev'`, then the `NODE_ENV` environment
|
|
variable will be set to `'production'` for all lifecycle scripts.
|
|
|
|
<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
|
|
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->
|
|
|
|
#### `ignore-scripts`
|
|
|
|
* Default: false
|
|
* Type: Boolean
|
|
|
|
If true, npm does not run scripts specified in package.json files.
|
|
|
|
Note that commands explicitly intended to run a particular script, such as
|
|
`npm start`, `npm stop`, `npm restart`, `npm test`, and `npm run-script`
|
|
will still run their intended script if `ignore-scripts` is set, but they
|
|
will *not* run any pre- or post-scripts.
|
|
|
|
<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
|
|
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->
|
|
|
|
#### `audit`
|
|
|
|
* Default: true
|
|
* Type: Boolean
|
|
|
|
When "true" submit audit reports alongside the current npm command to the
|
|
default registry and all registries configured for scopes. See the
|
|
documentation for [`npm audit`](/commands/npm-audit) for details on what is
|
|
submitted.

|
|
|
|
#### `bin-links`
|
|
|
|
* Default: true
|
|
* Type: Boolean
|
|
|
|
Tells npm to create symlinks (or `.cmd` shims on Windows) for package
|
|
executables.
|
|
|
|
Set to false to have it not do this. This can be used to work around the
|
|
fact that some file systems don't support symlinks, even on ostensibly Unix
|
|
systems.
|
|
|
|
<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
|
|
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->
|
|
|
|
#### `fund`
|
|
|
|
* Default: true
|
|
* Type: Boolean
|
|
|
|
When "true" displays the message at the end of each `npm install`
|
|
acknowledging the number of dependencies looking for funding. See [`npm
|
|
fund`](/commands/npm-fund) for details.
|
|
|
|
<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
|
|
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->
|
|
|
|
#### `dry-run`
|
|
|
|
* Default: false
|
|
* Type: Boolean
|
|
|
|
Indicates that you don't want npm to make any changes and that it should
|
|
only report what it would have done. This can be passed into any of the
|
|
commands that modify your local installation, eg, `install`, `update`,
|
|
`dedupe`, `uninstall`, as well as `pack` and `publish`.
|
|
|
|
Note: This is NOT honored by other network related commands, eg `dist-tags`,
|
|
`owner`, etc.

|
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->
|
|
|
|
#### `workspace`
|
|
|
|
* Default:
|
|
* Type: String (can be set multiple times)
|
|
|
|
Enable running a command in the context of the configured workspaces of the
|
|
current project while filtering by running only the workspaces defined by
|
|
this configuration option.
|
|
|
|
Valid values for the `workspace` config are either:
|
|
|
|
* Workspace names
|
|
* Path to a workspace directory
|
|
* Path to a parent workspace directory (will result in selecting all
|
|
workspaces within that folder)
|
|
|
|
When set for the `npm init` command, this may be set to the folder of a
|
|
workspace which does not yet exist, to create the folder and set it up as a
|
|
brand new workspace within the project.
|
|
|
|
This value is not exported to the environment for child processes.
|
|
|
|
<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
|
|
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->
|
|
|
|
#### `workspaces`
|
|
|
|
* Default: null
|
|
* Type: null or Boolean
|
|
|
|
Set to true to run the command in the context of **all** configured
|
|
workspaces.
|
|
|
|
Explicitly setting this to false will cause commands like `install` to
|
|
ignore workspaces altogether. When not set explicitly:
|
|
|
|
- Commands that operate on the `node_modules` tree (install, update, etc.)
|
|
will link workspaces into the `node_modules` folder. - Commands that do
|
|
other things (test, exec, publish, etc.) will operate on the root project,
|
|
_unless_ one or more workspaces are specified in the `workspace` config.
|
|
|
|
This value is not exported to the environment for child processes.

|

<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->
|
|
|
|
#### `include-workspace-root`
|
|
|
|
* Default: false
|
|
* Type: Boolean
|
|
|
|
Include the workspace root when workspaces are enabled for a command.
|
|
|
|
When false, specifying individual workspaces via the `workspace` config, or
|
|
all workspaces via the `workspaces` flag, will cause npm to operate only on
|
|
the specified workspaces, and not on the root project.
