Alternative package managers like ied or pnpm create hidden folders in node_modules, comparable to Git's file-based object storage in .git. These folders should be ignored by dependency-lint, since they are referenced via symlinks as needed (see issue #29).
In real life, this causes a false positive error:
devDependencies:
✖ .cas (missing)
used in files:
bin/spec
bin/tests
Dependency-lint finds binaries in node_modules/.cas, which it also finds being used, and assumes .cas is an unused NPM module. The solution is to ignore folders in node_modules whose name begins with a period.
