Angular library dependency install automatically

Question

I have a angular library and I have that as .tgz file in my local. Now I want to use this library in one of my angular application. Is there a way, by which the dependency of library gets automatically installed when we run npm install (without adding the dependency in package.json).

Example:

Library depends on bootstrap, @angular/material, etc

In my project, by default I have not added any of the dependency mentioned above that library requires. I am just specifying the "sampleLibrary": "file:./libraries/sample-library.tgz" in package.json. If run npm install, I need to have all the dependency of sampleLibrary to get installed and available in node_modules.

You need to list them under the `dependencies` key in the `package.json` file of the **sampleLibrary** — Sebastian Kaczmarek, Apr 03 '20 at 06:11
When you run `npm install`, then NPM builds the dependency tree and installs all of them. You can read about it here: https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/install#algorithm — Sebastian Kaczmarek, Apr 03 '20 at 06:16
