package-lock.json is updated with every normal npm install to constantly reflect the packages that were used on the last build. To use exactly the versions pinned in package-lock.json , one needs to use the command

npm ci

Try refering to this link What is the role of the package-lock.json? for more detailed discussion regarding this. Try to search your doubts first you may find similar questions already answered.
