Repository files navigation

Since npm version 3.0.0 npm tries to install the dependency treemaximally flat. (https://github.com/npm/npm/releases/tag/v3.0.0)

This means it is not possible to know in advancewhere the module directory will be on the disk.Therefore statically loading files from a module directorycan not be safely used anymore.

Symlink-modules let's you symlink your dependenciesto a consistent location so that the files can be loaded from there.

npm install --save symlink-modules

symlink-modules<dependency-1><dependency-2>

This will create alinked_modules directoryand symlink the specified dependencies.

constsymlinkModules=require('symlink-modules')symlinkModules('dependency-1')// orsymlinkModules(['dependency-2','dependency-3'],options)

Possible options:

{linksDirectory:'<path>'// default: linked_modules}
