You are developing a Node.js library intended to be used as a dependency in other projects. How would you utilize the package.json and package-lock.json files to ensure that the consumers of your library do not face any versioning or dependency conflicts?
- Do not provide a package-lock.json file with your library
- Specify the exact versions of dependencies in your package.json
- Use wildcard (*) versions for dependencies in your package.json
- Ask consumers to manually update your library's dependencies
To ensure consumers do not face versioning or dependency conflicts, you should specify the exact versions of dependencies in your package.json. This guarantees that consumers get the same dependencies you tested with. Option 1 is not recommended, and options 3 and 4 can lead to conflicts and issues.
