Is there a way to persist node_modules?

[mikoz93]

Hi, thanks for this package, it's really helpful. One question though - is there any way to persist all node_module dependencies or
select just a few? I'm using puppeteer-core and a chromium binary within a layer and would like to keep those within the node_modules directory rather than be bundled together with source code.

Thanks!

Are you looking for external?

Hi @mrgrain , it looks external modules are not copied to output

Ah yes. Image processing. Personally I tend to put these kind of libraries into a layer, instead the code bundle. But that's because I like my bundles small-ish and platform independent. But it just moves the issue to somewhere else. And of course layers are not support by Lambda@Edge.

Right now, with this package your best solution will be to run the whole thing on the target platform, e.g. from inside a Docker container.

Ok thanks

I also found this on the sharp docs:

Maybe you can tweak the install commands you run to make it work.
