 Emma [it/its] | hm, is there any way to inject more stuff into the npm config hook, or would i have to disable it and write my own instead? | 11:51:00 |
 Cobalt | As in more logic or more packages? | 12:05:52 |
| Cobalt | The latter can be done by patching the source, otherwise there's no known expansion mechanism afaik | 12:06:18 |
| Emma [it/its] | as in, i want to remove packages after the first install run | 12:12:02 |
| Emma [it/its] | (in particular, i want to remove sqlite3 under nix builds, and just using jq on the package.json didnt work) | 12:12:30 |
| Emma [it/its] | trying to use npm for this errors out with... an EIA_AGAIN | 12:14:11 |
| Cobalt | I don't think that will work with the npm config hook. in regards to altering the package.json with jq, iirc this may cause npm to (re)check the lockfile (as the locked dependency graph is changed) which can be an issue. | 15:46:52 |
 dish [Fox/It/She] | yeah if you change the package.json then it won't match the package-lock.json, so it won't work afaik | 17:26:38 |

| Emma [it/its] | removing sqlite3 from packag-elock.json also didnt work fwiw | 02:02:19 |
| Cobalt | To clarify, do you want skip the Installation of an sqlite package or avoid the installed files being present in node_modules?
The first likely requires a patch of the source (package.json + lockfile). The latter could maybe be done in, e. G., preBuild.

| Emma [it/its] | im trying to skip the installation of sqlite alltogether | 08:07:51 |
| Emma [it/its] | * im trying to skip the installation of sqlite alltogether | 08:07:59 |
| Emma [it/its] | for now i just removed it from the package.json in the repo alltogether with npm (and made the app throw an error if it tries to use sqlite), and it cut down build time by 80%... lol | 08:08:55 |

 Tumble | is importNpmLock better than using prefetch-npm-deps | 22:26:34 |
| Cobalt | It is a tradeoff, eval time+hassle (some lockfiles need fixing) vs size+downloads. Ime, importNpmLock is better for most projects and also presumably quite a lot easier on your disk and npm's services. | 22:34:28 |
