📝 Description

This module copies dependencies defined in package.json to Titanium Resources directory.

Currently, if you want to be able to use npm to install packages for Titanium, you need to do it from /app/lib, /app/vendor, or /app/assets.

What this module does is it gives the you (the developer) the ability to install Node.js modules for Titanium in the same place you are installing Node.js modules for everything else.

🚀 Getting Started

This module is meant to be used as part of the Titanium mobile build process.

There are several ways this module can be used by Titanium:

• You can follow this JIRA ticket about this feature getting integrated into Titanium SDK
• You can use this a part of a Titanium Plugin
• You can execute this as command-line tool: copymodules <projectPath> <targetPath>

I don't think this is the right location to add support - it'd only work for Alloy apps. Also, it's leading to extra copying (copy from node_modules -> Resources, then "copy" from Resources -> app build dir)

I've started working on this in the SDK itself: tidev/titanium-sdk#11447

Closing, as stated by @sgtcoolguy we'll be dealing with this at the SDK level
