I have some node.js libraries that I package as modules and install by npm install --save. This is a pain to debug, because I have to publish a module, then update to use the newer version.

I see on this SO question: how to specify local modules as npm package dependencies that I can specify my dependencies as paths, which is much better.

Is there a way I could create a debug environment that uses paths for mudule-loading, and then a release environment that will use the modules from npm?

In this case the 'release' is created by the command pkg -t win index.js. i.e.

  1. I'd like to develop with relative paths to modules
  2. I'd like to 'switch' to using modules from npm without changing strings anywhere.

Then. If the above is possible, I would like to NOT import the module file to node_modules, but run it in place (I'm trying to take advantage of VS Code debugging)
