Node Notes
----------

# only create package-lock.json file (don't install packages "node_modules")
npm install --package-lock-only

# 'node ci' vs 'node install'
#
#  *  must have: package-lock.json or npm-shrinkwrap.json
#  *  if dependencies don't match (package.json & package-lock.json), `ci` will
#     exit with an error and not update package-lock.json
#  *  `ci` only installs entire projects
#  *  `ci` removes any pre-existing `node_modules` directory before it begins
#  *  `ci` never writes to `package.json` or any of the "lock" files

# install specific versions
# syntax of semantic versioning: docs.npmjs.com
# --save to add the installed module to the package.json’s dependencies, and
# --save-dev to add it to devDependencies
npm install lodash@4.17.4  # install specific version
npm install lodash@^4.0.0  # install the latest 4.x.x version
