[RRFC] node_modules using high disk space

Motivation ("The Why")

The node_modules is consuming a large disk space. So,. It would be better if it installs the packages in the root of the user in the computer.
In windows the path would look like: C:\Users\user_name\node_modules.
Users could install the different versions of a package.
And it would import packages matching the version inside the package.json.
Python packages📦 use this kind of concept and it consumes less storage.It only does one installation.And we don't neee to install it again.

Example

Using less storage space.
Avoiding the large node_modules folder in every single project.
Just one node_modules in the root of the user.
Users could install the different versions of a package.
And it would import packages matching the version inside the package.json.

How

Current Behaviour

Currently npm does install the whole project packages in the project folder📁.This takes up the storage of the system.I know we can import packages from the root folder. But, this kinda idea should be the only way to import packages 📦. As it increases perfomance.

Desired Behaviour

When we run npm install it should only install in the root user folder.

The issue refers to npm install, node_modules, and package.json, but names no repository files, tests, or entry points. Start by investigating the current installation and dependency-resolution behavior; done would require a decided design for shared user-level storage, version matching, and reduced per-project disk usage.
