Node Prune
node-prune is a utility for cleaning and shrinking Node.js dependency folders by removing source files and documentation not required for runtime execution. It functions as a package cleaner that deletes non-essential files, such as markdown and TypeScript files, from installed npm dependencies to reduce installation size.
The tool optimizes deployment artifacts and container images by stripping unnecessary files from third-party library directories. This process is used to minimize Docker image sizes and reduce the footprint of final application bundles.
The project provides a command-line interface to automate the pruning of dependency directories. It leverages recursive directory traversal and pattern-based filtering to identify and remove non-runtime files.
Features
- Vendor Directory Pruning - Provides a CLI utility to remove non-essential files and source code from dependency directories.
- Node.js Dependency Pruners - Functions as a tool to remove non-essential source files and documentation from node_modules to reduce size.
- Runtime Footprint Optimizers - Shrinks the size of node_modules directories by removing files not required for runtime execution.
- npm Package Cleaners - Deletes markdown and TypeScript files from installed npm dependencies to save disk space.
- Pattern-Based File Deletions - Identifies non-runtime files for deletion by matching names and extensions against predefined patterns.
- Node Modules Optimizations - Removes non-runtime files from dependency folders to reduce disk space and installation size.
- Recursive Directory Traversers - Recursively walks through the nested folder structure of node_modules to locate all files for evaluation.
- Artifact Size Optimization - Speeds up deployment pipelines by pruning dependency directories before uploading artifacts.
- Dependency Stripping - Reduces the size of container images by stripping unnecessary documentation and source files from node_modules.
- Deployment Bundle Reduction - Shrinks the final application bundle by removing non-essential files from third-party library directories.
