Overview
The pnpm lockfile that pins exact dependency versions and integrity hashes for the Dify frontend application to ensure reproducible installs.
Description
web/pnpm-lock.yaml is an auto-generated lockfile produced by pnpm (lockfile version 9.0) that records the exact resolved versions, registry URLs, and integrity checksums for every direct and transitive dependency of the Dify frontend. At 15,614 lines, it captures the full dependency tree derived from web/package.json.
The lockfile includes:
- Settings:
autoInstallPeers: trueandexcludeLinksFromLockfile: false, which control how pnpm handles peer dependencies and workspace links. - Overrides: Mirrors the
pnpm.overridesandresolutionsfrompackage.json, including@nolyfillreplacements for unnecessary polyfills and security-related version pins for packages likeprismjs,pbkdf2, andesbuild. - Package entries: Each resolved package includes its version, resolution URL, engine requirements, peer dependency information, and an integrity hash for verification.
This file guarantees that every developer and CI environment installs the identical dependency tree, preventing "works on my machine" issues caused by version drift.
Usage
Developers should not edit this file manually. It is regenerated automatically by pnpm whenever pnpm install, pnpm add, pnpm update, or pnpm remove is run. The lockfile should always be committed to version control so that CI pipelines and other developers reproduce the same dependency resolution. If merge conflicts arise in this file, the recommended approach is to delete it and run pnpm install to regenerate it.
