-----------------------------------
Summary: thrift NPM package includes whole thrift repository, is
30 megabytes
Key: THRIFT-3485
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-3485
Project: Thrift
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Node.js - Library
Affects Versions: 0.9.3
Reporter: Alex Zylman
The thrift npm package is as big as all of our other node dependencies
combined. It currently publishes the entire thrift repository, which is ~30mb
right now. As far as I can tell, it only requires lib/nodejs, which is 376k.
I propose adding an .npmignore file. You can more info in the npm
documentation:
https://docs.npmjs.com/misc/developers#keeping-files-out-of-your-package
If the package only requires lib/nodejs, we should be able to add an entry to
the npmignore file for every folder (including lib), and then a negated entry
for lib/nodejs. We'll also want to include everything from gitignore, because
npm will no longer use that once an npmignore file is added.
