[DOCS] npm install references deprecated flag --production #8025

Description

Is there an existing issue for this?

  • I have searched the existing issues

This is a CLI Docs Problem, not another kind of Docs Problem.

  • This is a CLI Docs Problem.

Description of Problem

The deprecated --production flag is used when it should likely be --omit=dev in cli/docs/lib/content/commands/npm-install.mdhere on lines 55-62.

Potential Solution

I suggest using:

  • --omit=dev instead of the deprecated flag --production, and
  • --include=dev instead of the --production=false.

This matches the change made for the npm prune documentation in #6987

With the --omit=dev flag (or if the NODE_ENV environment variable is set to production), npm will not install modules listed in devDependencies. To install all modules listed in both dependencies and devDependencies when the NODE_ENV environment variable is set to production, you can use --include=dev.

NOTE: The --omit=dev flag has no particular meaning when adding a dependency to a project.

                              [DOCS] npm install references deprecated flag --production #8025

                              Description

                              @dellch

                              Is there an existing issue for this?

                              • I have searched the existing issues

                              This is a CLI Docs Problem, not another kind of Docs Problem.

                              • This is a CLI Docs Problem.

                              Description of Problem

                              The deprecated --production flag is used when it should likely be --omit=dev in cli/docs/lib/content/commands/npm-install.mdhere on lines 55-62.

                              Potential Solution

                              I suggest using:

                              • --omit=dev instead of the deprecated flag --production, and
                              • --include=dev instead of the --production=false.

                              This matches the change made for the npm prune documentation in #6987

                              With the --omit=dev flag (or if the NODE_ENV environment variable is set to production), npm will not install modules listed in devDependencies. To install all modules listed in both dependencies and devDependencies when the NODE_ENV environment variable is set to production, you can use --include=dev.

                              NOTE: The --omit=dev flag has no particular meaning when adding a dependency to a project.
