How to move the node_modules folder when installing modules?

Question

Node.js

Hello. The question is, we have a rail project and in order for the deployment to go faster, it is necessary that when installing "npm i" modules, the node_modules directory appears in the vender directory, and not in the project root. Where is this configuration written and how to change the webpack config in the future so that it looks for modules along the vender/node_modules path?

Answer 1

npm has no such configuration. Where package.json is (or where npm install is called) node_modules will be there.
There are three options: 1) change npm to bower, where the path to the directory is configured, 2) change webpack + npm to systemjs + jspm, this path is also configured in jspm, and 3) deploy the frontend separately.
