Is it possible to get npm 5 to use the old behaviour of not saving the installed dependency without adding the switch?
I.e. I'm used to npm install <package> not modifying package.json, and I like to keep it that way?
Some global setting?
npm config set save false
Should disable auto-save

Is there a step-by-step process to change a react-native project from using yarn as the package manager to using npm? All I can find after several days of searching are instructions to go from npm to yarn and a package called deyarn which doesn't seem to fully work for me. Does anyone have a good resource on this?
Try this :
Remove yarn.lock (don't need this file).
Remove folder node_modules
In package.json, change script use yarn to the same command with npm
Remove all global package of yarn (don't need to remove if you want to use npm for one project)
Remove yarn if you don't want to use it again.
Install npm (if you installed, ignore this step)
Install global and local package you need
Can you upload some error, you said that not fully work.
Edit:
If you want to change npm to yarn, it same:
Remove package-lock.json (don't need this file).
Remove folder node_modules
In package.json, change script uses npm to the same command with yarn
Remove all global package of npm (don't need to remove if you want to use yarn for one project)
Remove npm if you don't want to use it again.
Install yarn (if you installed, ignore this step)
Install global and local package you need
You can see CLI commands comparison for 3rd step
You can try taking the following steps:
Remove node_modules
Run npm install
This should work because npm and yarn use the same package.json.
The deyarn package worked brilliantly for me.
Note that it will only flag (not auto-update) any package-lock.json scripts that you may need to update.
Depending on your environment needs, you may also want to strip out the engines: yarn: '..' entry it adds to your package-lock.json.
You don't need to do anything just run npm start cmd then follow the same step as suggest.
I've covert my yarn project To npm see the image.

hope is work for you.
thanks happy coding.
I published a module to npm. When I uninstall it and try to reinstall it, this is always done from a cache ( it is done even if I'm not connected to the internet, I just get a warning ). I would like to try if my module installs correctly from the remote npm repository on a fresh npm registry.
I tried to remove Node.js and reinstall it, but it does not help. There is no "npm" in the list of my applications that I could remove, only Node.js is listed. This is on a Windows 10 machine.
Where is the npm registry located and how can I remove it entirely?
You have to clean your NPM cache and then clear your registry using the below commands.
npm cache clean
npm config delete registry
Thanks
npm config delete registry
This worked for me
I don't want yarn to use my npm config. Specifically, I want it to ignore my npm registry because I use a custom one for work, which fails if I'm not on the VPN.
I know I can swap the registry out in about 5 seconds, but I imagine it's possible to separate yarn/npm configs.
Yarn comes with the default yarn registry (https://registry.yarnpkg.com). The problem you can't install via yarn is probably because of your SSL? try yarn config set strict-ssl false and see if that works
In my Node.js project, I have a dependency on another local project. Oftentimes, I need to make a small change to the dependency and see how it affects my main project. In order to do this, I have to reinstall my dependency using npm.
I can use npm update to try to update my dependency, but this seems like it will only work if the version number has changed on the dependency. I don't want to have to change the version number on my dependency every time I change a line of code or two to make an experimental change in development.
I can rm -rf node_modules/; npm install to ensure that I get the latest versions of all of my dependencies. Downloading all of my non-local dependencies takes several minutes, breaking up my train of thought.
Is there a way to force npm to reinstall a single dependency, even if that dependency's version number hasn't changed?
When you run npm install, it will install any missing dependencies, so you can combine it with an uninstall like this:
npm uninstall some_module; npm install
With npm 5, uninstalled modules are removed from the package.json, so you should use:
npm uninstall some_module; npm install some_module
On npm v 6.14:
npm install module_name --force --no-save
You get a message stating:
npm WARN using --force I sure hope you know what you are doing.
And then it proceeds to uninstall and reinstall the package.
Note: if you don't specify the --no-save option, npm updates the package version on package.json to the highest version that is compatible with the existing SemVer rule.
If you do not want npm to update the package's version on package.json, keep the --no-save option.
Not the best answer, but just for information, you can run
npm ci
It is the same as npm install, but it will remove the existing node_modules folder, if any, and do a fresh install for all packages. This is useful if the files in node_modules have been changed for some reason and you want to revert them to their original state.
When I try to do a local install (eg. npm install socket.io), it's putting the module in the ~/src/node_modules/ folder. npm root reports this folder as well. I must have screwed up npm's settings during some bleary eyed late night session, but I can't figure out how to get it set back to ./node_modules as the default. Anyone know what I screwed up, and how to set it back to the default?
Update
I have tried npm config set root ./node_modules but npm root still reports ~/src/node_modules as the root. I also checked .bash_profile and no node related settings are being made in it.
A quick npm uninstall npm -g and then another install from the npm website should get your defaults back.
Normally reinstalling is a pain but with your package.json files you can get everything set back up with a quick npm link
