Is node_modules directory required on a remote server for React project?

Question

I an running a react project locally. I want to now run from a remote server, is the node_modules directory necessary to have on the server?

Answer 1

If there are dependencies with particular node modules, of course, yes. Try to remove the folder and run your app. If there are errors, try to 'npm install' and run again. If it works, you need to include node modules folder.
