.SS Description
|
|
.P
|
|
This command removes "extraneous" packages\. If a package name is
|
|
provided, then only packages matching one of the supplied names are
|
|
removed\.
|
|
.P
|
|
Extraneous packages are packages that are not listed on the parent
|
|
package's dependencies list\.
|
|
.P
|
|
If the \fB\-\-production\fP flag is specified or the \fBNODE_ENV\fP environment
|
|
variable is set to \fBproduction\fP, this command will remove the packages
|
|
specified in your \fBdevDependencies\fP\|\. Setting \fB\-\-no\-production\fP will
|
|
negate \fBNODE_ENV\fP being set to \fBproduction\fP\|\.
|
|
.P
|
|
If the \fB\-\-dry\-run\fP flag is used then no changes will actually be made\.
|
|
.P
|
|
If the \fB\-\-json\fP flag is used then the changes \fBnpm prune\fP made (or would
|
|
have made with \fB\-\-dry\-run\fP) are printed as a JSON object\.
|
|
.P
|
|
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 \fB\-\-production\fP flag\.
|
|
.P
|
|
If you've disabled package\-locks then extraneous modules will not be removed
|
|
and it's up to you to run \fBnpm prune\fP from time\-to\-time to remove them\.
