Remove dependency from nested Lerna Package

I have a lerna setup with n packages located under packages/. Let us take an example where one of the packages uses express where the others do not.

How can I remove express from this package in a lerna-aware manner so the root package.json is updated?

I can add packages with lerna add --scope but it seems there is no corresponding remove functionality.

Solution

  • Just remove the packages from your package.json

    then run

    $lerna bootstrap
