Do not execute postinstall when installing package as dependency

Question

I have a package x that has postinstall script. During development I used it to do some tasks that are needed during development of this package.

Now I've published this package. When installing it with npm install (x is listed as dependency in package.json) I don't want to execute postinstall task and this is not needed for package to be used as runtime dependency.

Is is possible to achieve it?

It's not the case, package is runtime dependency of web apps. — dragonfly, Dec 07 '16 at 14:33

You can disable all scripts with --ignore-scripts

how about for single dependency? – dragonfly Dec 20 '16 at 13:02
You can only disable all scripts. Not for a single dependency, without changing npm. – bolav Dec 20 '16 at 18:46
