How to properly store a node.js project in a repository?

Question

Node.js

We have a node.js project in Visual studio with protractor tests. What is the correct way to store node_modules folder in svn repository and what is the correct way to resolve dependencies between modules? And in general, is it necessary to store it in svn or that everyone would download the modules themselves, or in general they should be global.
the following packages are installed locally in the project
"devDependencies": {
"@types/node": "^7.0.8",
"imap": "^0.8.18",
"jasmine-reporters": "^2.2.0",
" jasmine2-protractor-utils": "^1.2.7",
"protractor": "^5.1.1",
"typescript": "^2.2.1",
"webdriver-manager": "^12.0.4"
},
Now the folder is stored in a turnip, but on some machines it does not see local dev modules. In the studio they are displayed, but from the command line there is zero reaction.

Answer 1

I have /node_modules/ in .gitignore, and I wish you the same. Surely svn also has such settings

Answer 2

All dependencies are described in package.json.
You don't need to store node_modules in svn, that's what package.json is for.
In theory, after npm i , everything should be fine locally. If there are modules that need to be installed globally (I see that protractor is one of them), then take them out like this:

"scripts": {
  "preinstall": "npm i -g protractor"
}
