Ignore peer dependency check for single package in package.json - npm

Question

I try to exclude the package react-virtualized from the peer dependency checking of NPM 7. I know I could separately install that package with
npm install react-virtualized --legacy-peer-deps
...but my goal is to install all packages with npm install and this one shall not be checked for peer dependencies. Is that possible?
I would accept any answer that shows me how to manipulate the package.json so that a fresh npm install runs without peer dependency errors.
I have the following package.json:
{
"name": "test",
"version": "1.0.0",
"description": "",
"main": "index.js",
"scripts": {
"test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
},
"keywords": [],
"author": "",
"license": "ISC",
"devDependencies": {
"react": "^17.0.2",
"react-dom": "^17.0.2",
"react-redux": "^7.2.4",
"react-router": "^5.2.0",
"react-router-dom": "^5.2.0",
"react-beautiful-dnd": "^13.1.0",
"react-device-detect": "^1.11.14",
"react-markdown": "^7.0.0",
"react-resize-detector": "^6.7.1",
"react-virtualized": "^9.22.3"
}
}

Answer 1

There isn't a way to do that within your own package.json as far as I am aware. The change would need to happen in the package.json for the react-virtualized package. Perhaps one of these alternatives will work for you:
Set legacy-peer-deps in a .npmrc file for your project. This won't work if people are installing your project via npm but if your project is cloned from a git repository or otherwise downloaded, and then people run npm install from there, including a .npmrc in the project should work.
Require using npm#6 which will be more lenient about peer dependency checks. You can specify the npm version in the "engines" field in your package.json.
Install react-virtualized from GitHub. The master branch (and, as of this writing, unfortunately only the master branch) has the d36509817ac44 commit which added react#17 and react-dom#17 as acceptable peer dependencies. Because this code is not in any release yet, you may be getting a version of the module that is unstable. To do this: npm install git+https://github.com/bvaughn/react-virtualized.git
Use react#16 and react-dom#16 instead of #17 for each.

With npm#>=8.3.0 use overrides in package.json:
"overrides": {
"react-virtualized": {
"react": "$react",
"react-dom": "$react-dom"
}
}
See https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v8/configuring-npm/package-json#overrides
