package-strip-deps

A little command line utility that allows to strip dependencies from a NPM package.json file.

The command basically takes the JSON content of a package.json file and prints in the standard output the same content but by stripping the keys dependencies and devDependencies.

Install

Globally:

npm install --global package-strip-deps

Or as a dev dependency (e.g. you need it as part of your build process)

npm install --save-dev package-strip-deps

Usage

Using "pipes":

cat package.json | package-strip-deps

Using input redirection:

package-strip-deps < package.json

If you want to save the output to a file just use output redirection:

package-strip-deps < package.json > strippedPackage.json

Keep specific packages

If you want to keep specific packages from either dependencies or devDependencies, you can use the --keep flag as follows:

package-strip-deps --keep serverless --keep lodash

In this case serverless and lodash will remain in the final JSON and all the other dependencies will be stripped
