volta pin write to different file

[jensmeindertsma]

I'm using pnpm, and want to write a lean Dockerfile using this guide:
https://pnpm.io/cli/fetch
This requires that package.json is not added until after running pnpm fetch.
But Volta only installs pnpm when pinned in package.json. So can we allow storing the pinned versions in a separate JSON file that can be added instead of package.json?

Isn't that something that volta would have to support?

[jensmeindertsma]

Yes. I was thinking volta.json

You might want to consider asdf with the node and pnpm plugins
