These changes build upon the CLI and package JSON npm alias changes. They handle the shrinkwrap and lock file Detectors.
Thre is a bit of refactoring so that a common NpmAliasParser utility can
- Detects if a package name is an alias (format: "npm:actual-package@version")
- Extracts the real package name from alias syntax
This leverages the alias mapping built by previous CLI and package JSON detectors on this feature branch.
This mapping is passed through the lock file graph transformer to correctly resolve aliased packages when building the dependency graph
