repack-zip

This package creates a .zip file containing your package and its dependencies, including transitive dependencies.

The code was forked from node-pack-zip which did not support transitive dependencies (see issue#2).

It was mainly designed to help deploy nodejs packages in AWS lambdas.

The .zip file will contain by default

• All files not in node_modules
• All files in node_modules that are part of a package listed in the dependencies , bundledDependencies fields of your package.json and all their transitives dependencies or _phantomChildren.

Installation

npm install --save-dev repack-zip

Example

my-lambda is an npm package I want to run as an AWS Lambda Function.

Install repack-zip locally in my-lambda

npm install --save-dev repack-zip

Install any runtime dependencies of my-lambda.

npm install

Modify my-lambda/package.json:

"scripts": {
    "build-aws-lambda": "repack-zip"
    ...
}

Create the .zip file containing my-lambda and all its dependencies, ready to be uploaded to AWS Lambda

npm run build-aws-lambda

Configuration

You can customize included and excluded glob patterns using a repackZipConfig section in your package.json

Ex:

"repackZipConfig": {
  "includes": [ ...list of include glob patterns...],
  "excludes": [ ...list of exclude glob patterns...]
