如何创建包含软件包及其依赖项的NPM存储库

Question

I have a system that is offline that I need to airdrop a couple of npm packages into, including their dependencies. I've tried several solutions for picking an npm package and packaging up it and all of its dependencies into a tarball to be transferred to the offline system, but none even come close to working thus far. A quick effective solution would be great.

Answer 1

Have you tried the most obvious thing?

#!/bin/bash
mkdir drop
cd drop
npm i $1
cd ..
tar -zcvf drop.tar.gz drop

Answer 2

After comprehensively trying every top solution recommended by Google, I eventually discovered npmbox, which works like a charm.

A bit of useful guidance when interacting with the node community, whether in #node.js on freenode or here on StackOverflow: https://blog.npmjs.org/post/163421115230/shutting-down-npm-irc

There is a general pattern of not reading questions carefully and putting down the person answering them. Just ignore those folks.
