Safe shrinkwrap allows you to clean OS specific dependencies from NPM's shrinkwrap JSON file. This makes it a lot easier to create a cross platform shrinkwrap that doesn't break the world even if the maintainer of the systems doesn't.
npm install -g safe-shrinkwrapThis gives you safe-shrinkwrap and the shorter ssw for use on the command line.
To use this program, issue ssw or safe-shrinkwrap from the root directory of your Node.JS project. It will run npm shrinkwrap --dev and then clean up the resulting npm-shrinkwrap.json file. It leaves behind an npm-shrinkwrap.unsafe.json in addition to the cleaned up npm-shrinkwrap.json file. You'll then be good to go.
Be aware that it removes your node_modules directory and reinstalls your node modules. If you had any extra modules that aren't in the package.json, or OS dependant modules, you will need to install them again after this is done.
-d, --remove-shrinkwrap : deletes the shrinkwrap file prior to install
-nd, --no-dev : doesn't include dev dependencies in the shrinkwrap file
-ni, --no-install : doesn't install
-v, --version : outputs just the version
-h, --help : outputs this help informationIf you really don't want to have this program wipe and reinstall then you can to pass --no-install or -ni. This often lead to errors though. So be warned of this.
