Why is it an invalid question ?
could you please provide "Valid" justification for the same !Reacted by matt212, Marco Moschettini and Kiều HuynhReacted by Refael Ackermann@matt212 This issue is still open in case you hadn't noticed...
Sure will stay frosty , thanks !
npm packordocker build@matt212 the
invalidwas ment that it's not a bug in node (since then we changed the tagging of such issues towrong-repo).
There has been a lot of discussion about the packing/obfuscation of complete node projects. At present it's not a project goal to enable this, but it might be the future nodejs/node#11842.There are userland tools that can do that. I personally don't have a favorite solution, but you can check out:
- https://github.com/nexe/nexe
- https://www.npmjs.com/package/pac
- https://github.com/bmeck/noda-loader
and the discution in:

Reacted by matt212 and Kiều HuynhWe have successfully used https://github.com/h2non/nar at work. You can download an archive created with that tool here: https://github.com/finn-no/cdn-uploader/releases
The only thing I don't like is that it has to unpack in order to be executed, but the big thing for us is that it's distributable and runnable without requiring node to be pre-installedReacted by matt212@matt212 I felt your original post should be turned into a feature request. I edited it a little bit, feel free to re-edit me. nodejs/node#12386
Reacted by matt212I support this issue...
Reacted by matt212anything outstanding on this?
yes , since enhancement for release build of node.js is still not available !
I'm actively working on a solution (Also WRT nodejs/node#17320) but it will take time, and might not land.
Reacted by Gireesh PunathilAnother alternative is https://github.com/zeit/pkg (which we've migrated to, ref my post above)
Reacted by Gireesh PunathilIt seems that the question has been answered. As far as the desired feature, there is a relevant feature request at nodejs/node#11903.
Are there any npm packages for converting node.js web app's source code with all its dependencies within node_modules folder to compiled/released/published build files like for example :
rather than any npm packages , any other alternatives to achieve the goal of published IL !
