Discussion on: You don't need --save anymore for NPM installs

[Andrew Schimelpfening]

Packages installed with —save-dev are only for development. In a production environment, they won’t be installed. You usually install things like linters, compilers, etc. as dev dependencies, since you don’t need them in production.

Thanks for explanation. so just for clarification i will -> npm i bootstrap@latest --save

[Andrew Schimelpfening]

Yeah. But --save is also the default, so you can leave it out.

Thanks. hey we are going to change our frontend stack and SEO is main factor so what do you recommend Gatsby or NExt js (the backend is going to be php based ZEND framework's API's) and you can consider our website has blogs where content writers write blogs daily (we have builtin platform for that) also video viewing subscription based platform just like udemy so this is all we got on website so what do you recommend

[Andrew Schimelpfening]

I haven’t used Gatsby, so I can’t really compare the two.

Pawan, you should check out StackShare, it is a great resource for these types of architecture/stack comparisons unlike SO which mostly features on use-case specific solutions. 👍

Just like npm.
