javascript - NodeJS package dependencies -

i have defined npm package following dependencies:

 "dependencies": {     "kwire": "0.0.1"   }

i create new project folder node_modules folder in root , package.json, , run npm install --save my-package.

i end my-package being placed in node_modules, , dependencies being placed in inner node_modules folder, within my-package folder.

this seems normal.

when fire node.js repl my-project folder , write:

var m = require('my-package');

it results in error kwire not defined.

it falling on over line inside my-package:

require('kwire');

what need ensure my-package can see kwire?

i suggest using "files": [] inside package.json file. typical workflow structure package.json :

"dependencies": {     "package1": "latest",     "package2": "latest"     ... }, "files": [     "index.js",     "lib/" ]

inside index.js prefer passing dependencies lib/ folder as:

'use strict';  module.exports = require('./lib/bootstrap');

and /lib/bootstrap.js can start injecting module as:

var test = require('package1');

or local dependency as:

var router = require('./router');

here useful gist explaining module dependencies.
