How do I understand Node's module resolution in pnpm?

[ominus3]

I have confusion in this symlinked-node-modules-structure article, If node ignores symlinks, why require('bar') from foo don't look up in upper folder .pnpm/node_modules(which don't exist), instead resolve with ./pnpm/bar@1.0.0/node_modules/bar?

It doesn't ignore symlinks when searching for dependencies. It will resolve a dependency from a symlink. But the location of the resolved dependency won't be the symlink but the directory that the symlink points to.

Thanks a lot，the doc needs update？
