npm commands

Which command creates the package.json file interactively?

yes

no

npm install

[x]

npm init

[x]

[ ]

npm package.json

If you already have a package.json file, it'll read that first, and default to the options in there.

How do you install a package and save it as a dependency in the package.json file?

yes

no

npm install <package name> --save

[x]

[ ]

npm install <package name> --s

[ ]

[x]

npm install <package name> -S

[x]

[ ]

When uninstalling a package "save" flag will also update the dependency to package.json file: npm uninstall <package name> --save

How do you list packages?

yes

no

npm list

[x]

[ ]

npm ls

[x]

[ ]

npm -l

npm list -g

Adding the "g" flag after "list" or "ls" will show you globally installed packages: npm list -g or npm ls -g
