There are some packages that I'd like to skip on build definition. I was wondering if there's any way to skip any specific npm packages on the build definition on ADO?

For example, if I want to ignore the npm package of @microsoft/applicationinsights-common, can I do something like below in the npm

install --ignore @microsoft/applicationinsights-common

There is no possiblity to ignore one specific npm package using npm install.

If you want to skip such npm packages, that are only needed for development, than in package.json move the development specific dependencies to devDependencies and use npm install --production command to install the packages that are defined in dependencies.
