Usage of 'npm ci' for Build Pipelines

[gerrG1t]

Expected Behaviour

Local build always also corresponds to CI/CD build using 'npm ci'

See for more information:

• https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v7/commands/npm-ci/
• https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52499617/what-is-the-difference-between-npm-install-and-npm-ci

Actual Behaviour

Because of the overarching use of npm install, it is not impossible that the local build differs from the build in the pipeline, due to dependency updates.

Reproduce Scenario (including but not limited to)

Sample Code that illustrates the problem

see: https://github.com/eirslett/frontend-maven-plugin#running-npm Using the frontend-maven-plugin used in the archetype, it is possible to customize the arguments via the plugin configuration (install -> ci).
