How do you reinstall an app s dependencies using npm

Question

Is there a simple way to reinstall all packages that my app depends on  i e  they are in my apps node modules folder

User · Answer

You can use the reinstall module found in npm.

After installing it, you can use the following command:

reinstall

The only difference with manually removing node_modules folder and making npm install is that this command automatically clear npm's cache. So, you can get three steps in one command.

upd: npx reinstall is a way to run this command without globally installing package (only for npm5+)
