How to bundle server node_modules?

[rtcpw]

When building a SSR app, the output artifacts (in ./dist/ssr) contain package.json and require me to run npm install before deploying it.

So far, this has worked fine for me, but lately I am starting to hit a hard size limit in the platform provider that I use. All of the ./dist/ssr/node_modules packages are just too large, and I am looking for a way to bundle and minify this into the index.js.

Is it possible to bundle all of the node_modules that the server process requires into index.js, in order to avoid having to deploy the node_modules directory?

With Vite you can bundle dependencies with ssr.noExternal.

I think ssr/index.js is generated by a template in the CLI. (app-vite)

Is there no build step for the generated template? My middlewares use a couple of packages, and I want to build the ssr/index.js such that it no longer depends on the node_modules folder, because my node_modules is starting to become too large for the AWS Lambda size quota.

This is probably the issue:

quasar/app-vite/lib/modes/ssr/ssr-config.js

Line 131 in bb285a2

cfg.external.push(

(hardcoded external)

Ah, so I am out of luck with the way Quasar is currently setup.

I believe so.
