javascript - Can I use a script alias existing in another node module's package.json? -

i've created node module produces json file data multiple apis. it's designed able save json file whatever directory you're within in cmd/terminal.

i'm able run project, i've developed independently main project it's used within. has been installed in main project can run it's package.json exists because that's script alias resides.

there other node modules need use json file, once navigate other modules' root directories in cmd/terminal node wants use module's package.json , can't find script alias since doesn't exist there.

adding script alias every module isn't viable solution since project prototype , being added upon.

is there way relevant package.json referenced , used script alias regardless of i'm running within main project?

am going solving problem wrong? appreciated. first question if i've done wrong asking this, please let me know can improve. in advance.

a little bit late answer nonetheless.

we ended going peteb's approach (thanks) of using appropriate package (the 1 script alias internal it) , feeding external filepath through argument.

this works because existing structure arguments was:

npm run <script> <arg1> <filepath> 

although filepath argument meant pwd or %cd%, output of both normal filepath anyway. filepath theoretically work, long don't run other problems warrant looking solution problem elsewhere, length being long filesystem , whatnot.

something might worth mentioning maybe have been better suited environment other nodejs. doesn't using script outside package it's internal possibility , might have been better program external program deal such issues.

i'm not proficient @ nodejs lot of people here on site are, maybe executable containing code invoked .js file work, if that's @ possible.
