Is `npm dedupe` not handling this for you?

Subject: Re: [nodejs] Recommendation on handling npm module dependencies
I concur. Sure, small libraries, but the package modules is not used very effectively when loading the same lib over and over, but from different paths. For example, Underscore.js will almost all dependencies share.

Jeff,My company is running into the size issues you have cited. I know this is an old thread, but I am wondering if you have ever resolved this with something like npm dedupWe currently have a 300 MB package in our company with many (> 20) duplicates of various module.I am curious whether the use of consistent 'tags' would lead the community to solve this by encouraging modules to upgrade to 'tested', 'production ready' tags in the same time frameTony

I'm still working through some of the thought process as to which approach might work better.IMO, If you care about any of the above, you may want to remove the duplicate directory from the lower paths.Jeff
