JS/TS How to Reuse Code Between Projects?

Maybe there is an approach that I don’t know.

I spent a while and tried various methods such as js/ts with npm link, git submodules, tsconfig paths, symlink, npm/pnpm/yaml workspace, npm pack & npm link, package.json exports, package.json commonjs/module, and nx(nrwl)/lerna. Each approach has disadvantages, and it looks like there are no convenient standards.

Problem:
As a developer,
I want to write code and reuse it.
I want to start a second project and use only the code I need.
I have code, and I need to share it between multiple projects with the ability to update it.
I am looking for clear instructions.
I use JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA as my IDE.

I don’t want to mess or overcomplicate the code with package management, configs, commands, or other techniques that slow down development and introduce too many extra steps.
I can’t use a monorepo because there are tens of projects, and the IDE doesn’t perform well with searching, replacing, etc.

The code looks like:

/unit_domain_project_1
. .git
. package.json
. /src
. . /units # library
. . . /meter.ts # module 
. . . /meter.test.ts # unit testing
. . /nodejs
. . . # Node.js code in TS not compilable in browser
. . /browser
. . . # Browser code in TS not compilable in nodejs

/furniture_project_2
. .git
. package.json
. /src
. . table.ts # here I want to reuse only 'units'

/building_project_3 # extra nesting example 
. /src
. . house.ts # here I want to reuse only 'table' with 'units/meter'

Workaround:
The best solution I found is to use symlink like ln -s $ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO_PROJECT_1/units, but for Docker, it requires extra shell scripting.

Question:
How can I reuse units?
(Please answer with step-by-step instructions.)

Why These Approaches Are Not Ideal:
(Described below have cross problems)

  • git submodules – Requires git pull/push in each project.
  • symlink – requires shell scripting copy ./linked_code_source ./linked_code with Docker.
  • tsconfig paths – Does not support relative paths out of parent(base), IDE not resolve deps.
  • package.json exports: {'*./'} – There is a mess with package.json commonjs/module, I have to compile TypeScript into module JavaScript. I meet problems with dependencies and path resolving. Many hours just to make it work.
  • npm link – Not working with Docker, requires shell scripting.
  • npm/pnpm/yarn workspace – Depends on the npm/node version, makes or symlink or copy file, not updating, need a post_install scripting, rebuilding packages.
  • npm pack & npm link – need updating script.
  • nx(nrwl)/lerna – In general, I have to follow their folder structure and use build commands, which means I have to split code into libraries and provide configurations and package.jsons, introducing complexity that shouldn’t be there.
