Changing the name of package.json in node.js

I would like to rename my node.js project. According to this answer, all I had to do is change the value of the name property in package.json.

That said, the new version now includes package-lock.json. So is changing the name in package-lock.json, in addition to changing it in package.json, sufficient? Do I have to change the name in another file?

Is there an npm command that I can run that applies the name change correctly and automatically updates it with all the naming rules verified?

Thanks.

If you change the name in package.json, it must also be changed in package-lock.json. You can run npm install to update package-lock.json after changing the name attribute in package.json.
