       npm-prune

Synopsis

       <!-- AUTOGENERATED USAGE DESCRIPTIONS -->

Description

       This command removes "extraneous" packages.  If a package name is provided,
       then only packages matching one of the supplied names are removed.

       Extraneous packages are those present in the node_modules folder that are
       not listed as any package's dependency list.

       If the --production flag is specified or the NODE_ENV environment
       variable is set to production, this command will remove the packages
       specified in your devDependencies. Setting --no-production will negate
       NODE_ENV being set to production.

       If the --dry-run flag is used then no changes will actually be made.

       If the --json flag is used, then the changes npm prune made (or would
       have made with --dry-run) are printed as a JSON object.

       In normal operation, extraneous modules are pruned automatically, so you'll
       only need this command with the --production flag.  However, in the real
       world, operation is not always "normal".  When crashes or mistakes happen,
       this command can help clean up any resulting garbage.
