deno install Omit/exclude dev dependencies from package.json
I have a sveltekit project that I want to convert to using deno 2.0 (currently using 2.1.9). I can run
deno build (to pre render my sveltekit app) and cd build && deno index.js works like a charm. However, I also have some api routes that use npm packages.
Everything works fine when running locally.
But when I build my Docker image, I would like to install only the needed dependencies (those under dependencies). I don’t need the devDependencies, such as lints and types. In npm, I would use --omit=dev (I believe Bun has a similar flag).
Is there a way to exclude devDependencies when running deno install
I have checked the manual: https://docs.deno.com/runtime/reference/cli/install/, but I couldn't find anything about excluding deDependencies.
The closest thing I found was this: https://docs.deno.com/runtime/reference/cli/install/#options-entrypoint, but it’s unclear which file I should specify for sveltekit.
Does anyone know if there is a way to omit devDependencies when running deno install or should I use --entrypoint=file1.file2 , if so which file should I select? Or is there a better way to handle this?
