与“ npm install”类似的自定义CLI，它将在“ node_modules”以外的文件夹中安装库

Question

I understand that "npm install" in NodeJS will actually install libraries into a folder called "node_modules".

I am actually wanting to achieve something similar but to use my own CLI instead (eg using commands like "myproject install" instead of "npm install") and then the libraries (proprietary ES6 source codes from my company's Enterprise Git Repo) will be installed into a specific folder (eg "myown_modules" rather than "node_modules").

Question is, how do I achieve that, assuming that I want dependencies checking as well on the libraries that are going to be installed? Also, how do we control versions using own CLI?

Answer 1

Use this repo and modify it to do what you want.

You need to change the install folder and change the process with the name you want.

NPM repo : https://github.com/npm/npm

OR :

Create a bash script who will do npm install xxxx when you use myscript xxxx , so you can't change the node_modules with this.
