Short answer:-
Yes
Long answer:-
Yes, you can install a dependency as a devDependency (e.g. npm install -D nodemon
) instead of installing it globally (e.g. npm install -g nodemon
) and you can still use it inside your project.
However you cannot use it directly (e.g. by typing nodemon index.js
in the Terminal)
You must create a script and then run the script to use it. (e.g. in package.json, you add "start":"nodemon index.js"
and then you are free to use nodemon as with a global install by running npm start
in the Terminal)
