As advised, I used some code samples in another forum, but it could not improve the problem. My question is the “npm notice created a lockfile as package-lock.json. you should commit this file.” in programs – How to solve it? The command line is:

npm install express

and the result:

npm notice created a lockfile as package-lock.json. You should commit this file.

What does the message mean? Can you advise me to fix it? If you have other better answers, leave them in the answer box below.

you should commit this file

    The cause: Instead of creating a new package-lock.json file, you can update the existing one.

    The solution: You can fix this problem by changing the version number to a different one.

    { "name": "theme","version": "1.0.1", "description": "theme description"}

  2. Yes. This file should be added to your version control system (i.e. It should be committed.

    This file is intended to be committed into source repositories

    has more information about it/its functions.

    package-lock.json is automatically generated for any operations where npm modifies either the node_modules tree, or package.json. It describes the exact tree that was generated, such that subsequent installs are able to generate identical trees, regardless of intermediate dependency updates.
