构建后删除 node_modules 文件夹

Question

is it dangerous to keep the folder node_modules on the prod server after building the app.js? Or should I delete the folder after building?. The node_modules folder is not public.

Answer 1

If your build process uses webpack (or equivalent) to generate the distributable js, you dont need to keep node_modules at all.

Answer 2

Welcome to StackOverflow, dfgdghjezfghfgdh!

Generally speaking, as the folder is not public, you don't need to worry about it existing in the file system. Depending on how your project is built you might even require it in your production environment as well.

Hope this helped.
