package-stripper v1.0.0

Package Stripper

Clean-up excess baggage in node_modules to reduce used disk space in Docker-like environments

When run, this package will attempt to remove all unwanted files in node_modules to create smaller Docker images.

Use with caution! This may break your production environment.

Usage

1: Install

npm install package-stripper

2: Add to your package.json:

{
    "scripts": {
        "stripper": "package-stripper"
    }
}

3: Add to your production Dockerfile:

RUN npm install && npm run stripper

Make sure it is executed in the same RUN command as npm install - otherwise it won't work (Docker layers) https://docs.docker.com/engine/userguide/storagedriver/imagesandcontainers/#sharing-promotes-smaller-images

How it works

Files are deleted (that's why it can be risky) ;)

Folders removed:

• test, docs, doc, gh-pages, lcov-report

Files removed: everything, except:

• image files, sass, css, .node, .woff, .js
