带有嵌套node_modules的项目的行为如何？

Question

We are trying to separate our project into "sub modules" within single repo, but keep things like webpack, express server global, so assume structure like this

package.json
server.js
index.js
node_modules/
public/
  index.html
  dashboard.js
  onboarding.js
dashboard/
  index.js
  package.json
  node_modules/
  components/
  assets/
onboarding/
  index.js
  package.json
  node_modules/
  ...

idea here is to keep build / routing / server logic at root lvl and separate modules like dashboard and onboarding into their separate folders and allow them to use their own node modules.

Will this work? Will node modules be included correctly?

webpack will build assets to public/ folder, with some vendor assets and several entry points ie all index.js files

Answer 1

What you are proposing will work fine and compile as you expect. NodeJS will initially look for modules included in your modules 'node_modules' sub-directory and then work up the ladder.
