package.json

I am trying to install ONLY the "devDependencies" listed in my package.json file. But none of the following commands work as I expect. All of the following commands install the production dependencies also which I do not want. npm install --dev npm install --only=dev npm install --only-dev I cannot think of any more ways of telling the npm to install the devDependencies alone. :( Ahmed farag mostafa Check the NPM docs for install : With the --production flag (or when the NODE_ENV environment variable is set to production), npm will not install modules listed in devDependencies . The --only=

I see this is because of node-modules and application is packaged with some unwanted stuffs for running. Current file size is 600 mb but I want it to be less than 200 mb. I suspect --no-prune populates all the node-modules in package that is built, but I need only specifies node-modules in the package that is built I tried removing unwanted packages in package.json, it doesn't help me either after refactoring "bundledDependencies": [ "fs", "os", "path", "regedit", "request", "start", "xml2js", "util", "replace", "process", "fs", "console" ], **before refactoring** "bundledDependencies": [

I have package.json scripts with the following structure: "scripts": { "watch:build": "tsc --watch", "watch:server": "nodemon ./src/app.js --watch 'app'", "build": "tsc && gulp do_something", "start": "npm-run-all clean build --parallel watch:build", "watch:server --print-label" } I would like to start the application as npm run start with_argument and pass it to build script, to perform actions in the gulp task based on that argument. I read a lot of tutorial and how to articles, but without result. It is possible somehow to pass argument from one script to another(which starts a gulp task).

This works in Windows console as expected: set A="qwerty" && echo %A% the output: "qwerty" But when I try to run the same commands in NPM scipts: package.json: "scripts": { "qwerty": "set A=\"qwerty\" && echo %A%" } > npm run qwerty the output is: %A% Am I doing something wrong or it just shouldn't work that way when run by NPM? Your example set A="qwerty" && echo %A% isn't correct. Variables in the cmd prompt / a batch file are expanded once per line / command: ==> set "A=" ==> echo %A% %A% ==> set A="qwerty" && echo %A% %A% ==> echo %A% "qwerty" Why this behaviour? The SET command was first

I'm on Windows 10, but I'm using git bash . When running from git bash the following: DEBUG=foo node index.js it works fine and sets the environment variable DEBUG . But if I put it into the scripts section of the package.json : "scripts": { "start": "DEBUG=foo node index.js" }, and run the following from git bash I get the following error: $ npm start > nodejs@1.0.0 start C:\Users\maksym.koretskyi\Desktop\nodejs > DEBUG=foo node index.js 'DEBUG' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. Why the behaviour? rsp It seems like you're running it on

I am looking for best solution how to install npm package without it's dependencies described in it's package.json file. The goal is to change dependencies versions before install package. I can do it manually for one package by downloading source, but if you have many nested dependencies it becomes a problem. Here's a shell script that seems to get you the extracted files you need. #!/bin/bash package="$1" version=$(npm show ${package} version) archive="${package}-${version}.tgz" curl --silent --remote-name \ "https://registry.npmjs.org/${package}/-/${archive}" mkdir "${package}" tar xzf "$
