			`"name": "test-subflow-mod",`
Detect externalModule dependencies inside subflow modules Not sure this is 100% the right approach. If a subflow module has a dependency it should be in the subflow's package.json and therefore installed next to the subflow module in ~/.node-red/node_modules. By treating it as a 'normal' external module, it will be dynamically installed in ~/.node-red/externalModules. That then exposes the module to the user who won't know why its there and may remove it. It would be better to allow nodes inside a subflow module to require from ~/.node-red/node_modules and not limit it to the externalModules dir. The hard part is knowing when to do that. 2021-02-14 00:02:08 +00:00			`"version": "1.0.2",`
