Adding npm package dependencies to Angular2 project

Question

Recently I have added the ngx-bootstrap component to an angular project that my team is working on.

I am finding it a bit painful to have to tell each team member that they need to run npm install ngx-bootstrap --save to install the component locally.

Is there any configuration I can add to the project so that this command is executed automatically when the project is built locally?

Answer 1

Not everybody needs to run this command. npm install ngx-bootstrap will install the package locally. If you add the --save flag, it will also be added to your package.json . Therefore, anybody who wants to use your project in the future will simply have to use npm install to install all dependencies defined in your project locally.
