--modules-folder could be specified in .yarnrc?

[shouze]

For good reasons (containerization) we decided to put installed node_modules in a directory outside of our repository source code.

So when we build our container the build step uses the --modules-folder option. I wanted to know if it would be specified in .yarnrc but it seems that no?

Is there any reason for that? I can open an RFC if needed when I'll know more about that ;)

I also vote for any option to specify custom-folder just like bower does using .bowerrc. For neither npm nor yarn are a real option until one can define the paths to their own needs!

Bump for this, for me that use Symfony and need yarn only to download assets like jQuery and Semantic UI and put on my web folder, if I can to set this on config file is best.

On bower I make this on .bowerrc file with this config.

{
  "directory": "web/assets/vendor/"
}

You can specify it in .yarnrc like this:

--*.modules-folder "./wwwroot/lib"

The --*. will make the flag apply to all commands (install, add, etc)
