Development dependencies operate the same as regular ones, expect they are not required to use this project. Instead, they are only required if you plan to do development on the project. These usually including testing libraries, etc.
The install
command will save dependencies here when you use the --saveDev
flag. These packages will be skipped when you run install --production
