[Pro-tip][macOS][iCloud] Renaming components directories for compatibility with iCloud on macOS ~10.14

adopting-component-heavy-projects-for-iCloud

By default, it's a bad idea to store component heavy projects in an iCloud syncronized directory as the frequent shuffling of hundreds of files puts a heavy burden on the sync service. Moreover, it gets in the way of keeping the important stuff syncronized.

Let's say your project structure looks like this:
~/Documents/project/
└── node_modules

Let's adopt it accordingly:
~/Documents/project/
└── modules.noSync
    └── node_modules
    
Any directory name suffixed with ".noSync" will be ignored by iCloud sync. In our case, this will prevent updating/uninstalling/installing libraries from burdening sync services as child directories of "modules.noSync" are ignored.

Important consideration: you will almost definitely have to adopt your project settings to account for this tweak.

For example, `yarn` users should tweak their `.yarnrc` by adding the following line:
`--modules-folder "./modules.noSync/node_modules"`

custom-resolver.js

function Req(base) {
  this.base = base;
}

Req.prototype.get = function(module, opts) {
  if (typeof require(path.resolve(this.base, module)) === 'function' && opts !== undefined) {
    return require(path.resolve(this.base, module))(opts)
  } else {
    return require(path.resolve(this.base, module))
  }
  process.exit()
}

// EG
const req = new Req("./node_modules.noSync/node_modules")
const somePlugin = req.get("SomePlugin")

Honestly, this isn't really recommended. Though, you might have a reason.
