yarn - install modules in a specific directory

Question

When I do $ yarn install, I see that ./node_modules directory gets created and modules are installed in that directory.

I also get that --modules-folder ./directory_location exists, to install in a specific directory one time.

Is there an option to always use a specific directory to install in package.json configuration?

Answer 1

I am now using scripts to do this.

And I can run yarn run newinstall

In package.json

{
    ...
    "scripts": {
        "newinstall": "yarn install --modules-folder ./directory_location"
    }
    ...
}
