NPM shrinkwrap support? about check-dependencies HOT 1 OPEN

You're right, there's no support for npm-shrinkwrap.json here. This module's main purpose is to be as fast as possible when checking for dependency correctness so it checks for the proper modules to be present by manually walking the directory tree.

Do I understand it right that npm-shrinkwrap.json records not only what deps are installed but also where they should lie in the file directory structure? If that's the case then this module's way of checking dependencies could be extended. If that's not the case then there's no easy way to support it here and you may need to manually fire npm install at the beginning of your build script.

The fact that yarn.lock doesn't record the full file system location of modules is the reason why this module can't support it.
