no-absolute-version-devDependencies

Enabling this rule will result in an error being generated if one of the dependencies in devDependencies uses absolute versions.

Example .npmpackagejsonlintrc configuration

{
  "rules": {
    "no-absolute-version-devDependencies": "error"
  }
}

With exceptions

{
  "rules": {
    "no-absolute-version-devDependencies": ["error", {
      "exceptions": ["myModule"]
    }]
  }
}
