I have a node application in which I am using package.json file which on npm install make a node_modules folder inside the application folder which have all dependencies in it. I want to move node_modules folder out from application folder without causing the code break. Basically I want to manually configure the location of local node modules. How can I do that?

You can move package.json to this other folder and run npm install there. – Kafo Sep 08 '16 at 07:06

I haven't tried it but you can change main to whatever the location is relative to package.json and then it can work with node _modules as expected. Maybe check other answer on StackOverFlow since I saw similar questions to yours. – Kafo Sep 08 '16 at 07:12
