I am wondering if there is a native way of install all dependencies listed in package.json from a Project A to a Project B except the way of use Python virtual env or another more "heavy" solution as use Docker image( but I think this would be overkilling).

How about installing the package? But if you only want to merge them... I don’t think so :/ – Akxe Sep 02 '19 at 22:03

I realized that this isn't quite possible due the fact that package.json does have also metadata like project name, licenze etc. This will collide, so even a copy and past of the dependencies would be possible. On top of that to have all the tree of dependencies it should also be copied package-lock.json – Carmine Tambascia Sep 03 '19 at 09:53

yes in the terminal in the project simply type npm i and it will look for a package.json if it finds one it will download all the packages in it, if it doesnt find one it will ask you to create on

all you need is the package.json, just copy and paste it wherever you need it – Bahaaaldin Mohammad Sep 09 '19 at 04:29
