What is the --save option in npm install command?
npm install --save
I was using just npm install all the time but recently I saw this on the internet and I don't know what it stands for.

In older versions of npm (before npm 5.0.0) packages were installed under node_modules by default. You had to install dependencies first and then add them into dependencies section of your package.json.
Back then, the --save option was used to include the package into dependencies section of your package.json automatically.
Note:
Additionally,--savewas used to save the package under devDependencies (--save-dev) or optionalDependencies (--save-optional).
