'How to use globally installed node modules packages for multiple projects?
I have been following many react tutorials(just getting started). In all of them, node modules are locally installed within each project. But I don't want to download node modules all the time for each project. I want to install node modules(only react related packages like babel, webpack, webpack-dev-server, react and react-dom) globally, which resides in following location in windows (C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules) and then refer them for all of my react projects and also bundle them using webpack. How can I do that? I tried searching, but did not get any solution so far. Kindly let me know if there are any options to achieve that.
Thanks.

Using global package is not a good idea. It is only recommended for development
You can use npm link <global-package> to use your global modules like local.

You can use npm install -g 'package name' to install it globally.
