This tool will create an archive of your package similar to npm pack, but will generate a zip file instead of a tarball.
It is designed to help you deploy NPM packages to AWS Lambda or Azure Web Apps.
This project uses the npm-packlist project to build up the list of files to include and all bundle dependencies. Check out their documentation on how to exclude files from the archive.
Installation
npm install --save-dev npm-pack-zip
Example
my-lambda is an npm package I want to run as an AWS Lambda Function.
Install pack-zip locally in my-lambda
npm install --save-dev npm-pack-zip
Install any runtime dependencies of my-lambda.
npm install
Modify my-lambda/package.json:
"scripts": {
"pack": "npm-pack-zip"
...
}
Create the .zip file containing my-lambda and its dependencies, ready to upload to AWS Lambda
npm run pack
