[Questions]
I want to use third libraries in my cloud code of parse-server. I installed the dependencies in parse-server already, But when i use it in cloud code, error occurs as can not found the module.

[reproduced]
eg: I tryied to use mailgun in my CloudCode.

1. install lib in parse-server,

npm install mailgun-js --save
check the package.json, "mailgun-js": "^0.22.0", exists

2. require mailgun in cloudcode

var mailgun = require('mailgun-js')({apiKey: 'XXX', domain: 'XXX.com'});
Parse.Cloud.define("sendMail", (request, response) => {
});

3. start the parse-server. Then error occurs:

Error: Cannot find module 'mailgun-js'
Require stack:
- /dilu_dev/gitlab/metis-cloudcode/okr/test.js

well, i maybe know why.
I git clone the source code and run lib/cli/parse-server.js directly. Besides i add dependency lib into the parse-server’s package.json。With this way, i can not require lib in the cloud code.
But, i download the parse-server-example, then add dependency to the package.json, then reuqire the lib in the cloud code, it works...Ohh

Am i right ? I'm new to parse-server.

well, solved again..... If i put the cloudcode dir out of the parse-server dir, then can not use these libs. But, put the cloudCode dir in the parse-server dir , it works.... That...
