I just switched to gulp task runner to automate my workflow, but there is this problem whenever i want to start a new project i have to install all packages required in gulpfile.js using the following command:
npm install --save-dev {package name}
Imagine there are 20 of them, it's a bit boring. How can simplify this?
To install multiple packages, we need to use the npm install followed by the multiple package names separated by the spaces package1 package2 . This above command installs three packages, which are express, cors and body-parser. You can also checkout how to install the specific version of an npm package.
The npm install command is used to install npm packages to a node_modules/ folder. You can also install a specific version of each package by adding the @version keyword after the package names. npm will install the exact versions you defined in the example above.
You can add multiple package names to npm install:
npm install --save-dev package1 package2 package3
npm will install and save the specified packages in your package.json.
