On using a npm module in a Meteor package

Question

If I install the npm module bootstrap4-tagsinput-douglasanpa in the main Meteor application I can use it by importing its files

import '../node_modules/bootstrap4-tagsinput-douglasanpa/tagsinput.js';
import '../node_modules/bootstrap4-tagsinput-douglasanpa/tagsinput.css';

But if I use this npm module inside a Meteor package with

Npm.depends({
  "bootstrap4-tagsinput-douglasanpa": "4.1.2"
});

I can not use

import '../.npm/package/node_modules/bootstrap4-tagsinput-douglasanpa/tagsinput.js';
import '../.npm/package/node_modules/bootstrap4-tagsinput-douglasanpa/tagsinput.css';

as the .npm directory contains a dot and is not compiled in the application

How can I use this npm module inside a package without the need to install it at application level ?

Answer 1

Well well well, just importing without the full path works.... silly me.

import 'bootstrap4-tagsinput-douglasanpa/tagsinput.js';
import 'bootstrap4-tagsinput-douglasanpa/tagsinput.css';
