I am learning react and I have 30 projects with setup/final version..and each install is taking 150 - 200 mb nothing special about dependency..Is there a way sym link the node_modules to these. rather taking up 30x150mb :(
I tried setting up NODE_PATH and PATH to the NODE_PATH bin directory for the react-script to a common place but doesn't work.
You simply can't. Since all of your projects might be different based on what they are, you simply can't use the same react library everywhere by installing it once. You will have to install it separately for each project.
