Is there a way I can update package.json from node_modules directory? Sometimes I forget to use --save flag.
Thanks!

By default, npm install will install all modules listed as dependencies in package. json . With the --production flag (or when the NODE_ENV environment variable is set to production ), npm will not install modules listed in devDependencies .
–npm install --save or -S: When the following command is used with npm install this will save all your installed core packages into the dependency section in the package. json file. Core dependencies are those packages without which your application will not give the desired results.
If you are using a recent version of npm save yourself from unnecessary typing and use npm install [Package Name] instead of npm install [Package Name] --save by default it will add the installed package to the dependency list in the package. json file.
To Save : npm install --save {package_name} . This will save the package to package. json and install using npm install . You can't particularly control the dependencies(fully).
I came up with this simple cmd
npm install `ls node_modules` --save
It's good enough for my case :-)
