How do you use npm in Visual studio 2017 without project.json file?

Question

Now that they have removed project.json in Visual Studio 2017, but used npm to install packages in devDependencies in this file, how do we use npm to install packages now? If I create a package.json file, wouldn't it be superfluous given the existing MyProject.csproj file?

Outsider means the package is installed but not listed in your project.json package

package.json, .
