npm-packer

Produces zero-dependencies node modules

Installation

$ npm install -g npm-packer

Usage

npm-packer <source> <target> [--yarn]

• <source> can be either existing directory or npm package prefixed with npm:
• <target> must be non-existing directory
• if --yarn is used, packer uses yarn instead of npm for bundling

npm-packer . dist
npm-packer npm:jquery jquery-packed
npm-packer npm:jquery jquery-packed --yarn

How it works?

1. Runs "npm pack" on module and copies result to
2. Performs "npm install --production" on
3. Copies installed modules to "/vendor/node_modules"
4. Rewrites all require(...) calls
5. Removes "dependencies" from package.json

The bundle in <target> should be ready for publication with npm publish
