grunt: possible to relocate “node_modules” for plugins?

Question

If I install any grunt plugin, it is added to a folder named \"node_modules\" in the root of my project dir per default.

My question: is it possible to move this wh

Answer 1

You can use symbolic link ln -s /original_node_modules_path/node_modules ./node_modules

Answer 2

Nope, that's a feature of the Node.JS core files. In the case you don't know, Node.JS is the platform which Grunt was built.

All require() calls which don't point to an absolute file or start with ./ will try to find modules inside node_modules folders.
