import scoped package from local in nodejs

Question

Currently we have multiple node package published in this format

• @company/module1
• @company/module2

I would like to be able to load these module from local without installing it so we can modify the code directly.

So I make the link in the folder tree like this

- company/
-- module1 -> ../../module1  
-- module2 -> ../../module2

Now I want when I import from the scoped name, it will load from local files instead

import module1 from '@company/module1'

Load from my other folder instead of looking from node_modules instalations.

Can anyone help me on this? Thank you very much.

I'm a bit confused with the question and guess that react-native tag is redundant.

You can't import the modules/libraries/single file, etc. in the node.js with the common import statement import Example from "package" .

So, try to use the const Example = require('package') instead.

const module1 = require("path/to/the/module1");
const module2 = require("path/to/the/module2");
