NPM commands

Just some NPM commands I had to look up.

What NPM packages are installed?

• List your global npm packages: npm list -g
  • dropping the -g flag will list packages in the current directory

Removing NPM packages

• Remove a package: npm r <name>

  • aliases for r: remove, rm, un, unlink, uninstall (see npm uninstall docs)

• Remove extraneous packages and packages that are not listed on the parent package's dependencies list: npm prune <name> (see npm prune docs)

• Uninstall all npm packages (stack overflow): rm -rf node_modules && npm cache clean && npm install
