What does -S stand for in an npm command? And where the added package is added in package.json? in "devDependencies" or in "dependencies" collection?
I have seen other questions like the ones below, but none of them refers to my question:
What is the equivalent of "npm install <package_name> –save" in Yarn?
What does the npm -S flag mean?
>Solution :
See npm install --help (or https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v9/using-npm/config): -S means --save which has been true by default since like forever, and is documented as:
Save installed packages to a package.json file as dependencies.
Contrary to --save-dev:
Default: false
Save installed packages to a package.json file as devDependencies.
