Is it possible to only install part of an npm package using npm install from its URL?

I have multi component project which uses lerna. Within this repo, I'm able to share a utility with its components.



So for example my project has the following components:




  • common-utils

  • component1

  • component2


component1 uses common-utils. Lernajs allows me to to do that.



Now there is a different repo, which also wants to use common-utils. I found out that it is possible to have a repo as an npm dependency using it's git URL as explained here. So I was wondering is it possible to install only part of the package? If it were possible, I'd just install common-utils for it and use it.



I know about scopes, but that requires publishing to the npm registry. So without doing that do you think is it possible to install part of a package using it's git URL? Or a different way to share across repos?






javascript node.js git npm lerna

Quarantine

For other uses, see Quarantine (disambiguation). Signal flag "Lima" called the "Yellow Jack" which when flown in harbor means ship is under quarantine. A simple yellow flag (also called the "Yellow Jack") had historically been used to signal quarantine (it stands for Q among signal flags), but now indicates the opposite, as a signal of a ship free of disease that requests boarding and inspection. A quarantine is used to separate and restrict the movement of people; it is 'a restraint upon the activities or communication of persons or the transport of goods designed to prevent the spread of disease or pests', for a certain period of time. [1] This is often used in connection to disease and illness, such as those who may possibly have been exposed to a communicable disease. [2] The term is often erroneously used to mean medical isolation, which is "to separate ill persons who have a communicable disease from those who are healthy...
