Install NPM dependancies for sub package which is nested within my main project?

Question

I have a main package.json for my project. I also have a component within my project which I'm publishing to NPM, so that requires its own package.json.

package.json
index.html
-folder
--component-folder
---package.json

Both package.json files define dependancies. At the moment I have to run npm install from both my project root and from component-folder. Is there a way of making it install dependancies for both when its only run from the project root?

I think this is a similar enough issue? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/31773546/the-best-way-to-run-npm-install-for-nested-folders — julianljk, Aug 09 '16 at 14:37

Try using subpackage. { "name": "my-awesome-project", "version": "2.5.1", "subPackages": [ "packages/sub-package-1", "packages/sub-package-2" ] } https://www.npmjs.com/package/subpackage
