npm install在node_modules中创建过多的依赖项

Question

This started happening just recently, but every time I run npm install I end up getting dozens of node modules beyond what's listed in package.json .

This answer shows that this is a new feature of npm 3 where the dependencies are being "flattened" instead of nested. However, I don't want to look at a bazillion modules every time I venture into the folder. Is there any way I can disable this setting?

Answer 1

No, that cannot be disabled.

is there anyway that I can force npm@3 to install new package for me, but old way? So without calculating project-wise tree. I just want the new package to be placed in node_modules with its dependencies in its node_modules?

No. The new installer is pretty much a complete rewrite, and while there is some special-case code to install packages into siloed subdirectories, that's only available when doing global installs, to simplify packaging and managing shared tools.
