Thanks for sharing! I was excited when npx came out but it turns out that I went a different way: All the packages I need for a project are references in the dependencies in package.json. That way, you don't need to worry about installing something globally at all. I also find it safer to make my projects as self contained as possible. What do you think? Any cons to my method?
I think this is a good way to install the packages, actually is the right way in my opinion. I think npx is more to try packages, and to use with cli, so we don't need to install every time someone wants to see your project.

Ah, that's right! Once I install the dependency, I write an npm script to run it and if it does not work for me I just remove the dependency and the script. I can see how npx would make it easier for me, as I wouldn't have to use that npm script intermediary when I'm figuring out how the package works. Nice.
