This is probably a pretty basic question, but I can't find an answer:

If I have a project with a dependency in package.json listed as foobar: ^3.2.1, what version of that dependency will be installed when I run vite build, assuming that the latest available version of the package is 3.4.5?

CodePudding user response：

First thing first, vite build won't change anything to your dependencies. I won't install ones nor update them. It will only build your project (i.e. compile / transpile / minify / bundle etc.) using your source code and the code it imports (likely within the node_modules).

It will build locally, so using your local dependencies in the node_modules folder.

To check the current package version you have installed, you can run:

npm list --depth=0 | grep foobar

(The grep part is optional)

You can also open your package-lock.json or yarn.lock file and search for your package to know to what version your package has been fixed to.
