How to use node_modules present in a different directory for a react project?

Question

I want to have a separate directory such as /lib/node_modules from where my create-react-app should refer to. Not instead of parent react directory...

Answer 1

You can do this by using windows symbolic links. refer to this website - creating symbolic links . I used (J) as it stands for directory junction. Code to run on windows terminal:-

mklink /J "path\name of the creating folder" "path\name of the original folder"
