I'm new to flatten-packages and have a few questions. Looking forward to your kind reply. Thanks.

  1. node v3 (search keyword flat) already flat the packages maximally. Do I still need to use flatten-packages?
  2. What's the difference between flatten-packages and npm dedupe?

npm dedup: The deduplication algorithm walks the tree, moving each dependency as far up in the tree as possible, even if duplicates are not found. This will result in both a flat and deduplicated tree.

I think npm dedupe is doing the same thing? How does flatten-packages handle conflict packages?

flatten-packages created before npm@3 flat dependencies.

If you use npm@3, you don't need to use this.

flatten-packages don't handle conflict packages as it will just delete older version. npm dedupe did better that it respect semver version range to avoid conflict.
