What is the difference between dependencies and devDependencies in package.json?

In package.json, 'dependencies' are packages required for your application to run, while 'devDependencies' are only needed during development.

Can you give me examples of each?

Sure! An example of a dependency is 'express' for a web server, while 'jest' for testing is a common devDependency.

Why is it important to separate them?

Separating them helps keep your production environment clean and reduces the size of your application by not including unnecessary packages.

What happens if I install a package as a devDependency instead of a dependency?

MagicBuddy
MagicBuddy

If you install a package as a devDependency, it won't be available in the production environment, which can lead to runtime errors if your app relies on it.
