The node_modules directory should be in the same directory that contains your package.json file. > I understand that the node_modules can be anywhere above the application root > so right now I've set it up so it looks like this: > > Before: > /var/myProjects/ProjectX/node_modules/ > /var/myProjects/ProjectX/app.js > /var/myProjects/ProjectX/everything else > > After: > /var/myProjects/node_modules/ > /var/myProjects/ProjectX/app.js > /var/myProjects/ProjectX/everything else The purpose of having a node_modules folder in each project is so that each project can independently manage its own dependencies. Imagine ProjectX uses express 2.x, and so does ProjectY. So ProjectX/node_modules contains express 2.x and so does ProjectY/node_modules. Now you plan to move to a centralized node_modules folder. What happens when you want to upgrade to express 3.x, which necessitates changes to your project’s code? Are you prepared to make those changes to all of your projects simultaneously? -- -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
