Have node_modules in host

Question

I have a NuxtJS project (which obviously contains a node_modules directory) running on Docker.

The main subject is that I don't want to install npm on my host (dev) machine. I want my container to npm install itself, and get the node_modules into my dev machine, but I can't figure it out...

This is my docker-compose.yml:

version:  '3.7'
services:
  nuxtjs:
    build:
      context: .
      dockerfile: docker/nuxtjs/Dockerfile
    environment:
      API_BASE_URL: ${API_BASE_URL}
    ports:
      - "8000:80"
    container_name: ${NUXTJS_CONTAINER_NAME}

docker-compose.dev.yml (which is executed there on my dev machine)

version:  '3.7'
services:
  nuxtjs:
    volumes:
      - ./front:/usr/src/app
      - /usr/src/app/node_modules

And the dockerfile:

FROM node:lts

# create destination directory
RUN mkdir -p /usr/src/app
WORKDIR /usr/src/app

# copy the app, note .dockerignore
COPY ./front /usr/src/app
RUN yarn

# build necessary, even if no static files are needed,
# since it builds the server as well
RUN yarn build

# expose 5000 on container
EXPOSE 80

# set app serving to permissive / assigned
ENV NUXT_HOST=0.0.0.0
# set app port
ENV NUXT_PORT=80

# start the app
CMD [ "yarn", "dev" ]

The node_modules directory is created, but nothing is installed into it.
