To add an npm package as an optional dependency, use the `--optional` flag.
|
|
|
|
```sh terminal icon="terminal"
|
|
bun add zod --optional
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
This adds the package to `optionalDependencies` in `package.json`.
|
|
|
|
```json package.json icon="file-json"
|
|
{
|
|
"optionalDependencies": {
|
|
"zod": "^4.0.0" // [!code ++]
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
