How to use node modules within Electron

Question

The current problem is that I have to specify the location of the module like var module = require('./node_modules/xyz/lib/xyz.js'). But then electron does not find the dependencies of xyz, which are located within ./node_modules/xyz/node_modules/yyy and complains ./yyy.js can not be found.

The electron app structure

dist  
├── angular2.dev.js   
├── config.js  
├── index.html  
├── main.js  
├── node_modules  
├── package.json  
└── app.js

Hii @kartik,

The current problem is that I have to specify the location of the module like var module = require('./node_modules/xyz/lib/xyz.js')

You should be able to do var module = require('xyz'); If you have it locates in the relative path ./node_modules/ .... that you mentioned.

Hope this works!!

Thank You!!
