What about install devDepencies for npm?

[robertfausk]

So we would need a section require-npm-dev in composer.json.

For bower it is already supported but not for npm packages.

The documentation on this is quite unclear. Derrived from Example Uage
"require-dev-bower": {}
i assumed i could install gulp using:

"require-dev-npm": {
            "gulp": "^3.9.1"
        }

package.json gets updated for gulp with one flaw:

 "dependencies": {
        "gulp": "^3.9.1"
}

where it should read devDependencies instead.

require-dev-npm is correct, I added it to readme.

Adding it to devDependencies should not be required, as package.json is generated and will include dev dependencies when requested. Or do I miss here something?
