After npm init I can add dependencies in my package.json using this:
npm install package --save And say, I want to uninstall the package and I do so by doing:
npm uninstall package but I want my package.json to be updated accordingly too without me having to manually go to the file and delete that line.
From the npm docs it says:
It is strictly additive, so it does not delete options from your package.json without a really good reason to do so.
So, I just wanted to know if this is even possible.

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.
To remove a package from the dependencies in package. json , use the --save flag. Include the scope if the package is scoped.
To remove a global package, you need to attach the -g flag to npm uninstall, and then specify the name of the package. The basic syntax for doing this is npm uninstall -g package-name .
Use the same --save flag. If you installed a dependency with:
$> npm install grunt-cli --save you can uninstall it, with package.json getting updated, using:
$> npm uninstall grunt-cli --save The 'save' flag tells npm to update package.json based on the operation you just made it do.
