Another potential option is to publish your shared code as npm modules. If the code is private then you can use npm Private Modules for that, although there is a cost for using private modules.

With either this or the Bower approach described in d.jamison's answer try to break your modules into smaller modules based on their specific purposes, rather than having big monolithic "AllOurSharedCode" modules.

The benefit of that is that if you find a bug, or make an improvement, you can see more easily exactly which of your projects may be affected. The require or ES2015 import syntax help a lot with that too as you will be saying e.g. import { calculateLineTotal } from OrderLogic.js, so it is then trivial to find all of the places in code that a change to the calculateLineTotal would impact.
