node.js - "npm --save install <module>" without actually installing the module -
for development setup, i'm using node.js inside docker container. i'm placing node_modules folder in docker image avoid potential problems caused architectural differences between non-linux host , docker engine. whenever add module, rebuild image, process invokes npm install
within container. add dependency package.json, run npm --save install <module>
on host computer since that's i'm editing files. installs module onto host computer doesn't need it. it's waste of time , bandwidth.
i manually edit package.json, that's error-prone , requires looking module's version number. there way make change through npm while avoiding unneeded installation?
when docker container running can run npm install inside container:
docker exec -ti <container id or name> npm install --prefix ./path/to/your/app <package> --save
