Install dependencies into node_modules, not turbo_modules

[justinfagnani]

It's very unintuitive that dependencies are installed into turbo_modules. It took a while to even figure that out.

How are you seeing this? From error stacktraces? Was meant to be an under-the-hood sort of thing for us, but understand why it's confusing if it bubbles up to the user

You need to reference files from packages sometimes. See https://stackblitz.com/edit/js-whexau?file=index.html

[justinfagnani]

HTML and CSS (and JS really) can't use package names to reference resource. There are a number of cases where this comes up: <link preload/modulepreload/stylesheet>, CSS url() and @import, and import and dynamic import() if you're using native modules.

@justinfagnani gotchya. StackBlitz was originally designed for projects that are using compilers/loaders/etc, so linking to node_modules in index.html isn't something we originally we planning to support. This is being changed in our bundler upgrade though, so you'll be able to link to node_modules in HTML files.

ETA is end of month/early next 💪

You rock, thanks for all the improvements!

@EricSimons awesome news!

[benshabatnoam]

Will we be able to see node_modules files structure? when installing a dependency to node_modules we don't always know the path to the desired file, it would be awesome to see the file structure. Thanks a lot.

This feature is now implemented in our new VS Code editor, available here!
