Installation

pnpm install @stephansama/pnpm-hooks

Why

pnpmfile hooks are useful, but the types and small reusable hook helpers are easy to reimplement in every workspace. This package collects both:

• ready-to-use pnpm hook implementations
• exported TypeScript types for authoring your own pnpmfile hooks

What this package exports

The package exposes two top-level namespaces:

• readPackageHooks prebuilt readPackage hook utilities
• types pnpm hook types including PnpmFileHooks, ReadPackageHook, BeforePackingHook, AfterAllResolvedHook, ImportPackageHook, PreResolutionHook, and UpdateConfigHook

Included hooks

The sections below are organized so each hook can carry its own behavior notes and example output as the package grows.

readPackageHooks.pinAllDependencies

Pins dependency ranges by removing leading ^ and ~ prefixes from:

• dependencies
• devDependencies
• optionalDependencies

This runs on every manifest processed by pnpm through the readPackage hook, which makes it useful for workspaces that want consistently pinned transitive and nested dependency ranges during resolution.

Hook examples

readPackageHooks.pinAllDependencies

Given a dependency manifest like this:

{
  "dependencies": {
    "react": "^19.1.0"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "typescript": "~5.9.2"
  },
  "optionalDependencies": {
    "@types/node": "^24.0.0"
  }
}

pinAllDependencies rewrites it to:

{
  "dependencies": {
    "react": "19.1.0"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "typescript": "5.9.2"
  },
  "optionalDependencies": {
    "@types/node": "24.0.0"
  }
}

Requirements

• Node.js >=24
• a pnpm setup that loads a pnpmfile

Usage

import { readPackageHooks, type types } from "@stephansama/pnpm-hooks";

export const hooks = {
  readPackage: readPackageHooks.pinAllDependencies,
} satisfies types.PnpmFileHooks;
