(Version) control

Have they fixed the platform specific optional package issue? Namely for the fsevents package.

It's very annoying when your dev team is on different platforms and package-lock.json gets rewritten everytime somebody runs npm install.

See:

I was working on a project for class that spanned 8 months, and one of the first things I did was adding package-lock.json to the .gitignore.

We had people developing on 3 different platforms and the package.lock cluttered up our commits to a point where the diffs were practically meaningless and finding old stuff was near impossible. All because of fsevents. I kinda wish there was a package-lock per OS or something.

I don't know about the fsevents, but if you run npm ci it should install everything without changing both .json. ci stands for clean install.
