I want to copy some files in node_modules folder in replit but it seems that the folder is hidden and i cant create the folder too as it says that the name is reserved. Any solution to add files there ?

Repl.it reserves the node_modules folder for creating the node.js runtime. If you want to install packages, just reference it - Repl.it will automatically install the packages and add them to package- and package-lock.json.

  • How do I reference it, Please help. I am a beginner. I just want to add files to node_modules folder. I know i am asking you to spoonfeed me but please help as I dont primarily use node.js. – pratik28 Jul 22 '21 at 09:01
  • OK, but why are you referencing it? Is it for packages, or something like that? – Tom Epsilon Jul 23 '21 at 17:41

To see the content, press Ctrl + Shift + S to go to the terminal, then type ls node_modules to see the content of the node_modules folder. Sadly, replit reserves this folder and it will be otherwise hidden from view.

In the Files section click on the options bar and in the dropdown select "Show hidden files". You will find the node_modules there.
