Whenever we start a new project and ...

Not sure what is wrong with
rm -r node_modulesNothing is wrong here. With your code, we can delete just within a project, but to delete all the node_modules from the device we can use about code. Thanks!
I recommend github.com/tbillington/kondo instead.
It's fast, is a single tiny executable (thanks, Rust), doesn't come with its own
node_modules, and supports not onlynpmprojects.Didn't know about this. Thanks for sharing I will definitely try this :)
You literally just coped everything from this video, even the title. shame

It's not wrong to convert a video to an article but he should have at least given some credit to the video :(
Doesn't npm intelligently link already-installed-elsewhere modules? If so, deleting node-modules folders might be detrimental.
Edit: whoops! I was wrong about this one, sorry gang. Maybe I got it confused with Yarn or some other package managers? If anyone knows more about this, that'd be awesome; I feel bad about having loads of copies of the same module at multiple locations on my system.
That's the first time I'm hearing this. To my knowledge, every npm project has its own node_modules directory and every package dependency is installed per project. Do you have a link that documents what you are suggesting?
This was my first time hearing this as well. I know that pnpm is meant to do so.
Your last suggestion of npx npkill is the easiest to use. Nothing to install.
I didn't use PowerShell. But it seems a Powershell statement. Right? :P
🤮
Check rimraf it is fast, and it is not limited to node_modules. It is written in JS so can be used in node projects
Whats is wrong with npm prune?
Can we run the command
npx npkillfrom any directory or we must run from the root in order to delete all node_modules files from the device?Didn't know about this, thanks for sharing!
Yes !! It really helped me :)
You've literally copied eveything, even the title ... The least you can do is aknowledge the real author in your article !
Was looking for the name of the package... Npkill was the name... Thanks 🤙
