install dependencies by excluding the optional ones

The yarn install command is used to install all of the dependencies defined in a package.json file. The --ignore-optional flag tells Yarn to ignore optional dependencies.

Optional dependencies are dependencies that are specified in a package’s optionalDependencies field in the package.json file, rather than in the dependencies field. These dependencies are not required for the package to function, but may provide additional functionality. By using the --ignore-optional flag, you are telling Yarn to only install the required dependencies and to skip installing the optional dependencies.


C:\>yarn install --ignore-optional
