Imagine the following monorepo structure:

- package.json // Root level package.json with global `lodash` dependency
- packages
  - packageA
    - package.json // Uses global `lodash` but it is not listed in `dependencies`
  - packageB
  - ...

In my dev environemnt everything works just fine and packageA can see and use lodash listed in parent package.json.

But now let’s suppose I want to publish packageA to npm.
It will be loaded to npm but lodash dependency is not listed in package.json (it is listed at top-level package.json which is not loaded to npm with packageA) so the package will break on client side!

How to tell npm that packageA uses lodash from parent package.json without specifying it directly in packageA’s package.json file?

Because if I start writing lodash dependency in every sub-package it kind of eliminates the purpose of using monorepo plus it will be a hell to maintain the same version of dependency across all packages.
