externalDependencies (or how to ignore package-lock.json)

[patrickmichalina]

My docker apps inside NX generally do not have package.json dependencies yet are "affected" when my other apps which do depend on those are updated. Is there a mechanism to avoid this during nx affected? I read "externalDependencies" set to "externalDependencies:[]" may solve it.

all changes in package.json or lock files will affects all apps... Please ask the question in nx repo or nx discord server because this is not related to this plugin 🙏🏻
