yarn remove

yarn remove <package...>

Running yarn remove foo will remove the package named foo from your direct dependencies updating your package.json and yarn.lock files in the process.

Other developers working on the project can run yarn install to sync their own node_modules directories with the updated set of dependencies.

When you remove a package, it is removed from all types of dependencies: dependencies, devDependencies, etc.

Note: yarn remove will always update your package.json and yarn.lock. This ensures that different developers on the same project get the same set of dependencies. It is not possible to disable this behavior.

Note: yarn remove <package> --<flag> uses the same flags as yarn install command.
