npm install in arbitrarily selected folder.

Is it possible to add functionality to install rpm packages in arbitrary selected folder? For example add some checkbox, like: "use selected folder in solution explorer". I make widgets, and each of them isolated, because they use different versions of the same libraries. And each has its own package.json. And in this case I have to use the command line instead of the extension. I hope this feature will be useful not only to me.

npm doesn't allow for custom install directories. It will always dump the files into the _nodemodules folder. It's very unfortunate.

When I said an arbitrary folder I meant folder with its own "node_modules" and "package.json" in it.

Ahh, got it. This extension cannot do that. The Task Runner Explorer in VS contains the logic about where to look for package.json files and it doesn't look in project sub folders

Really very unfortunate. Ok then. Thanks for the quick response.
