|
description: Remove a package
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
### Synopsis
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm uninstall [<@scope>/]<pkg>[@<version>]... [-S|--save|--no-save]
|
|
|
|
aliases: remove, rm, r, un, unlink
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 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`.
|
|
|
|
Futher, 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`](/using-npm/scope).
|
|
|
|
### Examples
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm uninstall sax
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`sax` will no longer be in your `package.json`, `npm-shrinkwrap.json`, or
|
|
`package-lock.json` files.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm uninstall lodash --no-save
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`lodash` will not be removed from your `package.json`,
|
|
`npm-shrinkwrap.json`, or `package-lock.json` files.
|
|
|
|
### Configuration
|
|
|
|
<!-- AUTOGENERATED CONFIG DESCRIPTIONS START -->
|
|
<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
|
|
#### `save`
|
|
|
|
* Default: true
|
|
* Type: Boolean
|
|
|
|
Save installed packages to a package.json file as dependencies.
|
|
|
|
When used with the `npm rm` command, removes the dependency from
|
|
package.json.
|
|
|
|
#### `workspace`
|
|
|
|
* Default:
|
|
* Type: String (can be set multiple times)
|
|
|
|
Enable running a command in the context of the configured workspaces of the
|
|
current project while filtering by running only the workspaces defined by
|
|
this configuration option.
|
|
|
|
Valid values for the `workspace` config are either:
|
|
|
|
* Workspace names
|
|
* Path to a workspace directory
|
|
* Path to a parent workspace directory (will result to selecting all of the
|
|
nested workspaces)
|
|
|
|
When set for the `npm init` command, this may be set to the folder of a
|
|
workspace which does not yet exist, to create the folder and set it up as a
|
|
brand new workspace within the project.
|
|
|
|
This value is not exported to the environment for child processes.
|
|
|
|
#### `workspaces`
|
|
|
|
* Default: false
|
|
* Type: Boolean
|
|
|
|
Enable running a command in the context of **all** the configured
|
|
workspaces.
|
|
|
|
This value is not exported to the environment for child processes.
