This is a hard question and I'll try to explain.
How to add new packages without install dependencies or new packages (defined in package/-lock.json)?
For example: Currently, we have our package.json and package-lock.json to maintain the versioning.
However, If we try to add a new package, other packages (related to package.json or package-lock.json) are being updated/added.
The intention is just add new packages, add these packages info inside package.json and package-lock.json, without affect the current packages installed.

To skip Installation of devDepenencies pass --production flag to npm install ,with the --production flag(or NODE_ENV environment variable set to production ) npm will not install modules listed in devDependencies." To make any module to be part of devDependencies pass --dev while installing.
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 .
You can add dependencies to a package. json file from the command line or by manually editing the package. json file.
The npm clean-install command (or npm ci for short) is an in-place replacement for npm install with two major differences: It does a clean install: if the node_modules folder exists, npm deletes it and installs a fresh one. It checks for consistency: if package-lock.
Go to package.json and make some changes if you don't want any of your packages to update automatically.
For example change
"react-native": "^0.56.1" to "react-native": "0.56.1"
simply delete caret "^" or tilde "~" signs you see before version declarations.
^" sign makes npm able to update minor version updates (for
above example 56 to 57 or higher) and~" sign makes npm able to update patch version updates (right-most element in [major, minor, path] tuple)If you declare your package versions without any sign, they won't be updated.

Use npm ci instead of npm install!
From the docs:
It will never write to package.json or any of the package-locks: installs are essentially frozen.
There are also other caveats and differences, I recommend to read the docs for more details. For example, it will remove existing node_module directories.
