You are working on a Node.js project with a team, and you notice that the package-lock.json file is frequently causing merge conflicts. How would you resolve or minimize such conflicts while ensuring consistent dependency resolution?

  • Remove the package-lock.json file entirely
  • Use Yarn instead of npm
  • Use a tool like npm ci and enforce it in your team's workflow
  • Manually edit the package-lock.json file in case of conflicts
To minimize package-lock.json merge conflicts, you should use a tool like npm ci in your team's workflow. npm ci installs dependencies based on the package-lock.json and ensures consistent dependency resolution. Options 1 and 2 are not recommended, and option 4 is not a practical solution.
