Redundant Dependencies In node_modules folder












0














I have a private npm module being installed from github private repo. That module has a dependency on "axios" module. So in package.json i have added it under dependency.



package.json of private module



{
"name": "xxx",
"version": "1.0.0",
"description": "xxxx",
"main": "index.js",
"scripts": {
"test": "echo "Error: no test specified" && exit 1"
},
"repository": {
"type": "git",
"url": "git+https://github.com/xxxx/yyyy.git"
},
"keywords": [
"xxxx"
],
"author": "xxxx",
"license": "ISC",
"bugs": {
"url": "https://github.com/xxx"
},
"homepage": "https://github.com/xxxxx#readme",
"dependencies": {
"axios": "latest"
}
}


I am using "axios" in my "index.js" also, so "axios" is listed as dependency in my root level "package.json"



package.json at root level



{
"name": "my code",
"version": "1.0.0",
"description": "",
"main": "index.js",
"dependencies": {
"axios": "^0.18.0",
"xxx": "git+ssh://github.com/xxxx/yyyy.git",
"scripts": {
"test": "echo "Error: no test specified" && exit 1"
},
"author": "",
"license": "ISC"
}


Overall "axios" is listed as dependency in my project in 2 places.
When i execute npm install. "axios" is getting installed in two places.




  1. node_modules in root level

  2. node_modules present in the directory of xxx


This is how my project structure after executing npm install




Project
|
+-- index.js
|
+-- package.json
|
+-- node_modules
| |
| +-- axios
| |
| +-- xxx
| | |
| | +-- index.js
| | |
| | +-- package.json
| | |
| | +-- node_modules
| | | |
| | | +-- axios // How to avoid axios getting installed here again and make
it reuse the one in root level node_modules directory
