How can I enforce the version on a dependency of a used library

Question

I'm using package foo that has "bar": "^1.0.0" in it's dependencies.

I want to force my package foo to use the fixed version"bar": "1.0.0", because the latest patched version of bar is broken.

Is there a way to do this ?

Or do I have no choice but to fork foo library with "bar": "1.0.0" specified.

May this help? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15806152/how-do-i-override-nested-npm-dependency-versions I do not mark it as duplicated, because I don't know if forcing version is only for you (local) or in case you're developping `foo` with other underlying dependencies that require `bar` — Sergio, Jul 15 '20 at 09:22
