#Introduction

Ziplocker is a simple replacement for npm shrinkwrap that takes optional dependencies into account. It also will fetch your dependencies for the first time via package.json avoiding cases where optional dependencies are added by postinstall.

#Overview

If ziplocker is run while there isn't a ziplock.json in the current directory, it will recursively determine dependencies and use them to build out the ziplock.json file. It will then install the dependencies found in ziplock.json; if it encounters an optional dependency in ziplock.json that is not installable it will continue on.

If ziplocker is run while there is a ziplock.json in the current directory, it will use the ziplock.json file to install dependencies. If you wish to install devDependencies afterwards, just run npm install after running ziplocker.

#Options

ziplocker supports the following command line options:

-registry-url (default: https://registry.npmjs.org/): The registry to fetch dependencies from. -proxy-url (default: null): The proxy to use when fetching dependencies.
