Received a project that was previously in progress by someone else. I noticed that when copying it, the node_modules folder must also be copied for it to function properly. Is there a way to automatically update the package.json file according to the contents of the node_modules directory?
It's essential to remember not to include the node_modules/ directory in your Git repository or share it between computers. This directory is simply a reflection of what's listed in your package.json file, which serves as the authoritative source for your JavaScript dependencies. If this isn't the case for your project, addressing that issue should be your first priority before making any changes.
To begin, delete the node_modules directory:
$ rm -rf node_modules
Alternatively, following rcdmk's suggestion, you can rename it to keep a record of its contents:
$ mv node_modules node_modules_backup
Next, recreate the directory based on the dependencies listed in your package.json file using your preferred command-line interface:
$ npm install # npm
$ yarn install # yarn
Lastly, address any issues arising from the updated dependencies within your code. These might manifest as errors in your server logs, browser console, or build output. If you created a node_modules_backup, compare its subdirectories with those in your newly-created node_modules directory to identify any discrepancies.
It has been noted by others that the issue is currently present and one method of addressing it involves renaming the node_modules directory, running either npm install or yarn install, and then attempting to run the application while identifying any missing dependencies.
To get a clearer view of what may be missing, you can use the tree command on both the old and new node_modules directories, comparing their outputs. You only need to focus on the top-level differences.
Alternatively, you can use ls -1 (or dir /d /b if using Windows) instead of the tree command.
Within the npm ecosystem, it is the package.json file that triggers the creation of the node_modules directory, rather than the reverse process. Simply obtain the package.json file containing all necessary dependencies and execute the command npm install
