How to edit a node module installed via npm?

by

I’m using the node_swiz module, which in turn uses the validator module.

I want to make changes to the validator module, but I used npm install to install the modules/dependencies.

Can I just make changes to the validator module inside of node_modules, or will that node_modules dependencies be re-created and the latest version gotten when I publish to heroku or next time I run npm install?

The structure looks like this:

myNodeApplication
  - node_modules
     - swiz
         - node_modules
            - validator [this is the library I want to edit]

Thanks for the help!
