Install npm package without dependencies

问题

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 "${archive}" --strip-components 1 -C "${package}"
rm "${archive}"

Save it as npm_download.sh and run it with the name of the package you want:

./npm_download.sh pathval

My solution was to rename package.json to package.bak before the install, then reverting rename afterwards:

RENAME package.json package.bak
npm install <package_name> --no-save
RENAME package.bak package.json
