Question 1

What is a pnpm-lock.yaml file?

Accepted Answer

A `pnpm-lock.yaml` file is automatically generated by PNPM (Performant NPM) to lock down the versions of your project's direct and indirect dependencies. This ensures consistent installs across different environments. It's in YAML format.

Question 2

How do I use this viewer?

Accepted Answer

Click the "Open Local File" button to select a `pnpm-lock.yaml` file. Its content will be displayed with YAML syntax highlighting. Our YAML Viewer (link to /viewer/yaml) is also suitable.

Question 3

Does this tool resolve or install dependencies?

Accepted Answer

No, this viewer only displays the text content of the `pnpm-lock.yaml` file. It does not interact with PNPM or manage your project's dependencies.
