Is it possible to only install part of an npm package using npm install from its URL?

I have multi component project which uses lerna. Within this repo, I'm able to share a utility with its components.



So for example my project has the following components:




  • common-utils

  • component1

  • component2


component1 uses common-utils. Lernajs allows me to to do that.



Now there is a different repo, which also wants to use common-utils. I found out that it is possible to have a repo as an npm dependency using it's git URL as explained here. So I was wondering is it possible to install only part of the package? If it were possible, I'd just install common-utils for it and use it.



I know about scopes, but that requires publishing to the npm registry. So without doing that do you think is it possible to install part of a package using it's git URL? Or a different way to share across repos?






javascript node.js git npm lerna

Run scheduled task as local user group (not BUILTIN)

Image
0 I am trying to run a scheduled task with User Group (not a single user). This is working fine when I in the field "when running a task, use the following user account:" insert BUILTIN User Group (for example: Administrators or Users). But when I try it with the created Local User Group (example: TestGroup) it is not working. The Users in the TestGroup are the same as in the Administrators group. What could be the problem? Are there some restrictions to the Created User Group compared to BUILTINUsers? scheduled-tasks taskscheduler windowstaskschedule share | improve this question asked Nov 15 '18 at 15:36 Far...
