How to maintain npm dependency versioning in package.json

Question

I have a Node module published to private NPM repo like this

1. myModule@1.0.0.dev-43
2. myModule@1.0.0.rc-01

I want to have a package.json dependencies to download DEV module for local install but RC module for production builds.

Is there a way to achieve it in NPM?

You need to publish the artifacts to your sinopia instance with a scope (ie: @local) and then register that scope with your local instance. Then when doing npm install all scoped dependencies will be sent to your local repo and everything else will go to the default repo.
