@sdetweil Is there a way to tell what libraries, dependencies, files, whatever, that a given module is using?

sdetweil

@ankonaskiff17 well, only the top level… look in the node_helper.js for require(…)

but you would then have to check every one of those dependencies, and those, and those and …

and somewhere in there may be a change that causes a particular lib to break …
cause breaking changes are allowed and common now

@sdetweil That MMM-MoonPhase module just seems hugely bloated compared to the rest of the modules. It’s like writer used some pre-built package to write module and most of it is not being used.
Was wondering how to remove some of that, I know how to comment out a line of code. Is there a way to do same but at the directory level?
It runs so probably not worth the effort.

@ankonaskiff17 The module has loads of dev dependencies. You should probably only install prod.

@mumblebaj via

npm install --only=prod --omit=dev

the 1st (–only=prod) is the old way
migrating to the new way (–omit=dev)

both are accepted

@sdetweil Can I do that retroactively or delete module then reinstall with npm install --omit=dev and that will get rid of unused directories/files?

I should be able to just delete module & no need to mess with config.js or custom.css if that is route to take?

sdetweil

@ankonaskiff17 yes just delete the node modules folder in the module folder and redo the npm install

no guarantee it will change the results

best just to ignore the messages
