[`npm-logical-tree`](https://github.com/npm/npm-logical-tree) is a Node.js
library that takes the contents of a `package.json` and `package-lock.json` (or
`npm-shrinkwrap.json`) and returns a nested tree data structure representing the
logical relationships between the different dependencies.
## Install
`$ npm install npm-logical-tree`

### API
#### <a name="logical-tree"></a> `> logicalTree(pkg, lock) -> LogicalTree`
Calculates a logical tree based on a matching `package.json` and
`package-lock.json` pair. A "logical tree" is a fully-nested dependency graph
for an npm package, as opposed to a physical tree which might be flattened.
`logical-tree` will represent deduplicated/flattened nodes using the same object
throughout the tree, so duplication can be checked by object identity.
##### Example
```javascript
const pkg = require('./package.json')
const pkgLock = require('./package-lock.json')
logicalTree(pkg, pkgLock)
// returns:
LogicalTree {
name: 'npm-logical-tree',
version: '1.0.0',
address: null,
optional: false,
dev: false,
bundled: false,
resolved: undefined,
integrity: undefined,
requiredBy: Set { },
dependencies:
Map {
'foo' => LogicalTree {
name: 'foo',
version: '1.2.3',
address: 'foo',
optional: false,
dev: true,
bundled: false,
resolved: 'https://registry.npmjs.org/foo/-/foo-1.2.3.tgz',
integrity: 'sha1-rYUK/p261/SXByi0suR/7Rw4chw=',
requiredBy: Set { ... },
dependencies: Map { ... }
},
...
}
}
```
#### <a name="make-node"></a> `> logicalTree.node(name, [address, [opts]]) -> LogicalTree`
Manually creates a new LogicalTree node.
##### Options
* `opts.version` - version of the node.
* `opts.optional` - is this node an optionalDep?
* `opts.dev` - is this node a devDep?
* `opts.bundled` - is this bundled?
* `opts.resolved` - resolved address.
* `opts.integrity` - SRI string.
##### Example
```javascript
logicalTree.node('hello', 'subpath:to:@foo/bar', {dev: true})
```
