Is possible to re-install my project npm's and plugins ?
I want to remove unused ones and get the last version of npm's and plugins without rewrite the codes of my project
For npm modules, you can just remove the node_modules folder from the root of the project and then run npm install.
But for the plugins, you need to be careful because the new version of some plugins can include some breaking changes and that will force you to update the code of your app.

The current project is an older monorepo project, which uses yarn to manage dependency packages, and many subprojects use phantom dependencies. At present, the project is gradually migrating to pnpm, but there is a problem that each subproject uses many npm packages that are not in its own package.json. However, there are dozens of such sub-projects, and manual statistics are a very heavy workload. Is there any good tool that can help me find out all the npm packages that each sub-project depends on through text analysis? In this way, I can find all missing dependencies by comparing the subproject's package.json and add them to the subproject's package.json.
There is currently no good idea to solve this problem. In the search tool, if there is no such tool, consider using python to write a new one.
When I run npm install #aspnet/signalr in my project directory, over 20 modules are installed into node_modules. However, in the actuall project, for example on a webpage, only signalr.js needs to be referenced. How does signalr.js reference its dependencies?
One additional example I find confusing is that when bundling, only signalr.js needs to be put into bundleconfig.json for SignalR to work in the project. Are the other dependencies actually needed?
When I use Yarn in an ASP.NET Core 2.1 Web Application to add a package, e.g., jquery-autocomplete, it removes the existing packages already installed. Why is it doing that? Does it have something to do with Popper.js, which seems to be a dependency of the package I want to install when this happens?
At the command prompt in the project root I typed:
yarn add --modules-folder=wwwroot\lib autocomplete
Working on a larger typescript project we decided to move the code to a monorepo with yarn workspaces.
We use webpack to build and bundle and everything works well (especially the linking between local modules/packages).
Since yarn workspaces will store most of the node_modules in the mono repo's root folder, the IDE (IntelliJ as well as VSCode) have problems resolving the imports to any node_modules when coding inside a "inner" project (so called "package" of a monorepo).
The strange thing is that imports are not known but on the other hand most of the time you can navigate to the correct source / definition within the IDEs for the same import if you write it down manually.
We have tried to tell IntelliJ to look into another folder for node_modules, but still not satisfying.
Please share your experience with yarn workspaces / monorepo (e.g. lerna) and how you develop the code living in these monorepos.
Which IDE do you use?
Did you add any special configurations to the IDE and/or package.json, tsconfig.json?
https://github.com/Izhaki/mono.ts
It uses yarn workspaces and marry well with VSCode. I hope the README is clear enough.
Basically, use two (parallel) typescript configuration trees:
Pre-build - uses aliases (for VSCode, tests, webpack, etc).
Build - uses typescript 3 project references for publishing essentially.
IDEA doesn't provide any support for Yarn workspaces; if you miss it, please follow WEB-29250 and linked tickets for updates.
You can try adding path mappings to your tsconfig.json - see https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/207656825/comments/115000529564
Upodate as of 2018.1.1 IntelliJ now supports yarn workspaces so if you use this there should not be a problem.

Which IDE do you use?
Since you are asking. I basically ran into the same issues as you did. One solution I was looking into was disable hoisting node modules as described here. Unfortunately it seems it is not yet in the stable release.
What I ended up was ditiching workspaces for now until they fix either the IDE or release the nohoist option. Instead I am using lerna for now. It is less convenient but it does not hoist so that both the build tools and the IDE are satisfied.
Oh, I am also using IntelliJ (ultimate)
The manual states that
You can also install the package globally on your machine and use the
wdio directly from the command line. However it is recommended to
install it per project.
Why is that? What downfall should I worry if installing globally?
If you only wish to use webdriver only in your shell regardless of any project then you can install it globally. However, if you wish to use it in a project, such that it is required to run project tests then install it locally (in this case it should be devDependency). The reasons are:
1) When multiple people working on a project, it is ensured that all of them have the same versions of the required packages.
2) Portability. The project dependencies should be completely defined in package.json so that after running npm install the project is ready to use in every environment.
For people new to NPM and Node, I'd recommend a global install to keep it simple. There are reasons to install it locally though, mostly to do with version compatibility and ease of project sharing: https://www.joezimjs.com/javascript/no-more-global-npm-packages/
