Package.json: Caret vs. pinned versions?

[Audrey84]

What sections are you talking about here then? Not dependencies and devDependencies?

@AaronSterling

There are two sections in package.json where you can specify dependencies – libraries your app needs in order to run correctly. In general you DO want to use the caret there, because libraries agree to follow semver rules in order to be in the npm registry, and npm knows the difference between updating a better edition of version 1, and updating from version 1 to breaking changes in version 2.
