NAME

npm-uninstall

Synopsis

<!-- AUTOGENERATED USAGE DESCRIPTIONS -->

Description

This uninstalls a package, completely removing everything npm installed
on its behalf.

It also removes the package from the dependencies , devDependencies ,
optionalDependencies , and peerDependencies objects in your
package.json .

Further, if you have an npm-shrinkwrap.json or package-lock.json , npm
will update those files as well.

--no-save will tell npm not to remove the package from your
package.json , npm-shrinkwrap.json , or package-lock.json files.

--save or -S will tell npm to remove the package from your
package.json , npm-shrinkwrap.json , and package-lock.json files.
This is the default, but you may need to use this if you have for
instance save=false in your npmrc file

In global mode (ie, with -g or --global appended to the command),
it uninstalls the current package context as a global package.
--no-save is ignored in this case.

Scope is optional and follows the usual rules for scope .

Examples

npm uninstall sax

sax will no longer be in your package.json , npm-shrinkwrap.json , or
package-lock.json files.

npm uninstall lodash --no-save

lodash will not be removed from your package.json ,
npm-shrinkwrap.json , or package-lock.json files.
