I would like to install a package from npm ng2-table, but with a pull request that is not merged to master.
There is anyway to add this pull request on my package.jsonto install this commit instead master master on my application?

You can specify the GitHub URL to the branch or commit that the PR was made from. You should specify the commit hash instead of the branch so that you don't unexpectedly get other (potentially-malicious) changes published to that branch in the future.
For example:
"package": user/repo#commit

1@FelipeAvelar Yes. Usually just the first 6 characters are sufficient. Fur for completeness, it will be `"package": valor-software/ng2-table#785f7b4ecd1833a92bc6c94024df3f14e2b0eb6a` – msanford Nov 09 '17 at 19:30

I tried this and received this error: `npm ERR! fatal: reference is not a tree: 785f7b4ecd1833a92bc6c94024df3f14e2b0eb6a` – Felipe Avelar Nov 09 '17 at 19:52
