Automatically remove dependencies from package.json when using npm uninstall

Question

After npm init I can add dependencies in my package.json using this:

npm install package --save

And say, I want to uninstall

Answer 1

Use the same --save flag. If you installed a dependency with:

$> npm install grunt-cli --save

you can uninstall it, with package.json getting updated, using:

$> npm uninstall grunt-cli --save

The 'save' flag tells npm to update package.json based on the operation you just made it do.
