Local dependency in package.json

Question

I want to do something like this, so npm install also installs the package.json of ../somelocallib or more importantly its dependencie

Answer 1

I know that npm install ../somelocallib works.

However, I don't know whether or not the syntax you show in the question will work from package.json...

Unfortunately, doc seems to only mention URL as a dependency.

Try file:///.../...tar.gz, pointing to a zipped local lib... and tell us if it works.
