why we dont need to use --save-dev.md

As of NPM 5, saving is done by default

--save-dev is only needed if we’re building a node app;

since we output minified JS for production via npm run build, everything is a dev dependency,

so it doesn’t actually matter in practice whether modules are added to dependencies or devDependencies in package.json.
