What is the meaning of those node_modules folder colors ?
How would those folder be differents when they were all installed using npm ?
More broadly how can we view meta-data associated to a folder ? To understand what is going on.
Because "Mark directory as" does not say anything about node_modules folders. For exemple the "library root" is not even in the menu.

Orange is the color for excluded folders. IntelliJ excludes indirect dependencies automatically as you shouldn't be importing those. Also, having the indirect dependencies excluded also speeds up the search.
Green is for added, but not commited files. Please check related article about colors: jetbrains.com/help/idea/file-status-highlights.html. – y.bedrov.
Pale blue means that the line has been changed. Mine doesn't have that bar. – annedroiid. Jun 21, 2016 at 0:46. I have been running version 11 for a number of years as this is what my license gets me. As of fairly recently, it was possible to download version 11 from the JetBrains website.
What exactly is the node_modules folder and what is it for? It just a directory created by npm and a way of tracking each packages you install locally via package.
The grey folders appear to be direct dependencies listed in your package.json, while the orange folders are indirectly required.
