npm - Don't Want To List Package On devDependencies Inside package.json

Question

When I try to install npm package using command npm i -d <package-name>, it always listing the package inside dependencies instead of devDependencies. It works before, but I suddenly get this problem without knowing what is causing it.

I have tried to reset NODE_ENV (I am not sure if this is related since I use windows), deleting package.lock.json, uninstall VSCode's extensions, cleaning npm cache reinstall the node_modules and even reinstall NODEJs, but the problem still persist.

Does anyone know the solution?

If you want to save package to devDependencies you must use -D instead of -d — Tien Duong

NPM Docs referring to this

Use -D (mind the uppercase) to save as a devDependency, as -d is the same as --loglevel info
