How to override a nested npm sub-dependency with a different package altogether (not just different package version number)?

by

I figured it out. As of October 2021, the solution using npm-force-resolutions is actually very similar to how you would specify it using yarn. You just need to provide a link to the tarball where you would normally specify the overriding version number. Your resolutions section of package.json should look like this:

"resolutions": {
    "ansi-html": "https://registry.npmjs.org/ansi-html-community/-/ansi-html-community-0.0.8.tgz"
}

To find the link to the tarball, use the following command, modifying your registry as necessary:

npm view ansi-html-community dist.tarball --registry=https://registry.npmjs.org/

Also, note that for npm-force-resolutions to work when you run npm install, you will need a preinstall entry under the scripts section of package.json:

  "scripts": {
    "preinstall": "npx npm-force-resolutions"
  }
