NAME¶
npm-prune - Remove extraneous packagesSYNOPSIS¶
npm prune [[<@scope>/]<pkg>...] [--production] [--dry-run] [--json]
DESCRIPTION¶
This command removes "extraneous" packages. If a package name is provided, then only packages matching one of the supplied names are removed.Extraneous packages are packages that are not listed on the parent package's dependencies list.
If the --production flag is specified or the NODE_ENV environment variable is set to production, this command will remove the packages specified in your devDependencies. Setting --no-production will negate NODE_ENV being set to production.
If the --dry-run flag is used then no changes will actually be made.
If the --json flag is used then the changes npm prune made (or would have made with --dry-run) are printed as a JSON object.
In normal operation with package-locks enabled, extraneous modules are pruned automatically when modules are installed and you'll only need this command with the --production flag.
If you've disabled package-locks then extraneous modules will not be removed and it's up to you to run npm prune from time-to-time to remove them.
