package.json
Le fichier manifeste d'un package. Il contient toutes les métadonnées du package, y compris les dépendances, le titre, l'auteur, etc. This is a standard preserved across all major Node.js package managers, including pnpm.
engines
Vous pouvez spécifier la version de Node et de pnpm sur laquelle votre logiciel fonctionne:
If you find that your use of a certain package doesn’t require one of its dependencies, you may use - to remove it. For example, if package foo@1.0.0 requires a large package named bar for a function that you don’t use, removing it could reduce install time:
{
"pnpm": {
"overrides": {
"foo@1.0.0>bar": "-"
}
}
}
This feature is especially useful with optionalDependencies, where most optional packages can be safely skipped.
pnpm.packageExtensions
The packageExtensions fields offer a way to extend the existing package definitions with additional information. For example, if react-redux should have react-dom in its peerDependencies but it has not, it is possible to patch react-redux using packageExtensions:
{
"pnpm": {
"packageExtensions": {
"react-redux": {
"peerDependencies": {
"react-dom": "*"
}
}
}
}
}
The keys in packageExtensions are package names or package names and semver ranges, so it is possible to patch only some versions of a package:
{
"pnpm": {
"packageExtensions": {
"react-redux@1": {
"peerDependencies": {
"react-dom": "*"
}
}
}
}
}
The following fields may be extended using packageExtensions: dependencies, optionalDependencies, peerDependencies, and peerDependenciesMeta.
A bigger example:
{
"pnpm": {
"packageExtensions": {
"express@1": {
"optionalDependencies": {
"typescript": "2"
}
},
"fork-ts-checker-webpack-plugin": {
"dependencies": {
"@babel/core": "1"
},
"peerDependencies": {
"eslint": ">= 6"
},
"peerDependenciesMeta": {
"eslint": {
"optional": true
}
}
}
}
}
}
Together with Yarn, we maintain a database of packageExtensions to patch broken packages in the ecosystem.
If you use packageExtensions, consider sending a PR upstream and contributing your extension to the @yarnpkg/extensions database.
pnpm.peerDependencyRules
pnpm.peerDependencyRules.ignoreMissing
pnpm will not print warnings about missing peer dependencies from this list.
For instance, with the following configuration, pnpm will not print warnings if a dependency needs react but react is not installed:
{
"pnpm": {
"peerDependencyRules": {
"ignoreMissing": ["react"]
}
}
}
Package name patterns may also be used:
{
"pnpm": {
"peerDependencyRules": {
"ignoreMissing": ["@babel/*", "@eslint/*"]
}
}
}
pnpm.peerDependencyRules.allowedVersions
Unmet peer dependency warnings will not be printed for peer dependencies of the specified range.
For instance, if you have some dependencies that need react@16 but you know that they work fine with react@17, then you may use the following configuration:
{
"pnpm": {
"peerDependencyRules": {
"allowedVersions": {
"react": "17"
}
}
}
}
This will tell pnpm that any dependency that has react in its peer dependencies should allow react v17 to be installed.
It is also possible to suppress the warnings only for peer dependencies of specific packages. For instance, with the following configuration react v17 will be only allowed when it is in the peer dependencies of the button v2 package or in the dependencies of any card package:
{
"pnpm": {
"peerDependencyRules": {
"allowedVersions": {
"button@2>react": "17",
"card>react": "17"
}
}
}
}
pnpm.peerDependencyRules.allowAny
allowAny is an array of package name patterns, any peer dependency matching the pattern will be resolved from any version, regardless of the range specified in peerDependencies. Par exemple :
{
"pnpm": {
"peerDependencyRules": {
"allowAny": ["@babel/*", "eslint"]
}
}
}
The above setting will mute any warnings about peer dependency version mismatches related to @babel/ packages or eslint.
pnpm.neverBuiltDependencies
This field allows to ignore the builds of specific dependencies. The "preinstall", "install", and "postinstall" scripts of the listed packages will not be executed during installation.
An example of the "pnpm"."neverBuiltDependencies" field:
{
"pnpm": {
"neverBuiltDependencies": ["fsevents", "level"]
}
}
pnpm.onlyBuiltDependencies
A list of package names that are allowed to be executed during installation. If this field exists, only the listed packages will be able to run install scripts.
Exemple:
{
"pnpm": {
"onlyBuiltDependencies": ["fsevents"]
}
}
pnpm.onlyBuiltDependenciesFile
This configuration option allows users to specify a JSON file that lists the only packages permitted to run installation scripts during the pnpm install process. By using this, you can enhance security or ensure that only specific dependencies execute scripts during installation.
Exemple:
{
"dependencies": {
"@my-org/policy": "1.0.0"
},
"pnpm": {
"onlyBuiltDependenciesFile": "node_modules/@my-org/policy/onlyBuiltDependencies.json"
}
}
The JSON file itself should contain an array of package names:
[
"fsevents"
]
pnpm.allowedDeprecatedVersions
This setting allows muting deprecation warnings of specific packages.
Exemple:
{
"pnpm": {
"allowedDeprecatedVersions": {
"express": "1",
"request": "*"
}
}
}
With the above configuration pnpm will not print deprecation warnings about any version of request and about v1 of express.
pnpm.patchedDependencies
This field is added/updated automatically when you run pnpm patch-commit. It is a dictionary where the key should be the package name and exact version. The value should be a relative path to a patch file.
Exemple:
{
"pnpm": {
"patchedDependencies": {
"express@4.18.1": "patches/express@4.18.1.patch"
}
}
}
pnpm.allowNonAppliedPatches
When true, installation won't fail if some of the patches from the patchedDependencies field were not applied.
{
"pnpm": {
"patchedDependencies": {
"express@4.18.1": "patches/express@4.18.1.patch"
},
"allowNonAppliedPatches": true
}
pnpm.updateConfig
pnpm.updateConfig.ignoreDependencies
Sometimes you can't update a dependency. For instance, the latest version of the dependency started to use ESM but your project is not yet in ESM. Annoyingly, such a package will be always printed out by the pnpm outdated command and updated, when running pnpm update --latest. However, you may list packages that you don't want to upgrade in the ignoreDependencies field:
{
"pnpm": {
"updateConfig": {
"ignoreDependencies": ["load-json-file"]
}
}
}
Patterns are also supported, so you may ignore any packages from a scope: @babel/*.
pnpm.auditConfig
pnpm.auditConfig.ignoreCves
A list of CVE IDs that will be ignored by the pnpm audit command.
{
"pnpm": {
"auditConfig": {
"ignoreCves": [
"CVE-2022-36313"
]
}
}
}
pnpm.auditConfig.ignoreGhsas
A list of GHSA Codes that will be ignored by the pnpm audit command.
{
"pnpm": {
"auditConfig": {
"ignoreGhsas": [
"GHSA-42xw-2xvc-qx8m",
"GHSA-4w2v-q235-vp99",
"GHSA-cph5-m8f7-6c5x",
"GHSA-vh95-rmgr-6w4m"
]
}
}
}
pnpm.requiredScripts
Scripts listed in this array will be required in each project of the workspace. Otherwise, pnpm -r run <script name> will fail.
{
"pnpm": {
"requiredScripts": ["build"]
}
}
pnpm.supportedArchitectures
You can specify architectures for which you'd like to install optional dependencies, even if they don't match the architecture of the system running the install.
For example, the following configuration tells to install optional dependencies for Windows x64:
{
"pnpm": {
"supportedArchitectures": {
"os": ["win32"],
"cpu": ["x64"]
}
}
}
Whereas this configuration will install optional dependencies for Windows, macOS, and the architecture of the system currently running the install. It includes artifacts for both x64 and arm64 CPUs:
{
"pnpm": {
"supportedArchitectures": {
"os": ["win32", "darwin", "current"],
"cpu": ["x64", "arm64"]
}
}
}
Additionally, supportedArchitectures also supports specifying the libc of the system.
pnpm.ignoredOptionalDependencies
If an optional dependency has its name included in this array, it will be skipped. Par exemple:
{
"pnpm": {
"ignoredOptionalDependencies": ["fsevents", "@esbuild/*"]
}
}
pnpm.executionEnv.nodeVersion
Specifies which exact Node.js version should be used for the project's runtime.
pnpm will automatically install the specified version of Node.js and use it for
running pnpm run commands or the pnpm node command.
Par exemple:
{
"pnpm": {
"executionEnv": {
"nodeVersion": "16.16.0"
}
}
}
resolutions
Functionally identical to pnpm.overrides, this field is intended to make it easier to migrate from Yarn.
resolutions and pnpm.overrides get merged before package resolution (with pnpm.overrides taking precedence), which can be useful when you're migrating from Yarn and need to tweak a few packages just for pnpm.
