repack-zip v0.2.8

This package creates a .zip file containing your package and its dependencies, including transitive dependencies.

The code was forked from node-pack-zip which did not support transitive dependencies (see issue#2).

It was mainly designed to help deploy nodejs packages in AWS lambdas.

The .zip file will contain

• All files not in node_modules
• All files in node_modules that are part of a package listed in the dependencies field of your package.json and all their transitives dependencies
• Files may be excluded by adding glob patterns to .packignore

Installation

npm install --save-dev repack-zip
