Core: 535 node_modules?

Created on 27 Jun 2017 · 4Comments · Source: adonisjs/core

At first I though it installed my default modules, but a clean and prune install of adonis install 535 node modules?

Well, maybe 533 since I installed RethinkDBdash.

Why so many modules?
Why installing mustache if we use nunjack?
Some things I'm not familiar with probably..

I think you got the wrong link 😄

edge.js is a new JS templating engine builded by @thetutlage.

Here's the doc + repo :

Hey @Extarys ! 👋

Development's dependencies install a lot of package, if you remove it you'll have 365 directories inside your node_modules. In version 4, nunjucks will be dropped in favor of edge.js, this will also remove a lot of dependencies.

Note that having 500+ packages or 10+ doesn't meen that your application will be slower or bloated. 😄

Thanks for the info haha! Never heard of edge, never coded asp.net. Would I be able to use nunjucks? :D Learning nodejs with all those promises and awaits stuff is already complicated enough
