如果Node devDependencies嵌套在依赖关系中，它们是否包含在版本中？

Question

Let's say I have Project A with:

  "dependencies": {
       "someDependency": "1.0"
   }

and someDependency with:

  "devDependencies": {
       "notwantedinproduction": "1.0"
   }

Will Project A included the "notwantedinproduction" dependency as part of a release build, by virtue of having it nested within dependencies a la "someDependency"?

Thanks guys!

No, when you npm i it will only install the dependencies defined in that module and will not install that modules devDependencies. An easy was to see this in action is to start a new project then install express (or anything else). Express has a dev dependency for eslint but if you check your node modules you won't find eslint in there.
