How to force nested npm dependency in package.json

Question

I believe this is pretty common question, but still I could not find reliable answer.

In my package.json I have dependency - "grunt-selenium-webdriver", which has some dependency version listed in its package.json which is not accessible from our network (we are using internal NPM registry which lags sometimes).

I want to use current version of grunt-selenium-webdriver but with different version of nested dependency. Is this possible anyhow?

PS: I tried peer dependencies, but it seems that it aims to solve another issue.

you can `edit package.json` file, as per your needs. – Ravi Sep 09 '14 at 12:23 — Ravi, Sep 09 '14 at 12:23

You can achieve this by NPM-Shrinkwrap functionality.

Other examples can be found on managing-node-js-dependencies-with-shrinkwrap.
