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 :
- .net has .dll file
- java has .jar file

rather than any npm packages , any other alternatives to achieve the goal of published IL !

Why is it an invalid question ?
could you please provide "Valid" justification for the same !

@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:

We 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-installed

@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

gireeshpunathil commentedon Apr 2, 2018
anything outstanding on this?
matt212 commentedon Apr 4, 2018
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.

Another alternative is https://github.com/zeit/pkg (which we've migrated to, ref my post above)

It seems that the question has been answered. As far as the desired feature, there is a relevant feature request at nodejs/node#11903.
