Beachball lock update

A tool to use beachball with npm monorepos. Specifically to workaround beachball issue #525.

This package provides a beachball postbump hook implementation that bumps the versions of package references inside a package-lock.json file during beachball's publish step.

Note: This package does a simple search and replace inside the package-lock.json file. Plan to update the script if it does not leave the package-lock.json in an expected state.

Getting Started

1. Install the package with npm i -D @ni/beachball-lock-update.

2. Integrate beachball in your application.

   Note: This tool requires beachball >= v2.20.0 to leverage the postbump hook (this is represented in the peerDependencies of the package).

3. In a beachball configuration file add a bostbump hook using @ni/beachball-lock-update:

    const path = require('path');
    const lockPath = path.resolve(__dirname, './package-lock.json');
    const { createPostbump } = require('@ni/beachball-lock-update');
   
    module.exports = {
        hooks: {
            postbump: createPostbump(lockPath)
        }
    };
   

4. Enjoy!
