Answer 1

Use the environment variable NODE_PATH
here is an example structure

app
 |-modules
   |-module_a  
   |-module_b
   `-module_c
 |-controllers
 `-views
 index.js

At startup, you can specify a variable NODE_PATH=./modulesand access the folders in the modules folder, as if they were in node_modules . Also, if you have webpack, you can set up aliases or access from the root through @
import moduleA from '@/modules/module_a'
