cost-of-modules
Analyze npm dependencies to identify which ones are causing bloat and slowing down install times.
What is cost-of-modules?
Cost of modules is a Node.js command-line tool that analyzes the size of npm dependencies in a project. It helps developers identify which packages are taking up the most space in node_modules, enabling them to optimize for faster install times and reduce bloat. The tool addresses the challenge of measuring dependency sizes in npm 3's flat installation structure.
Node.js developers and npm package maintainers who want to optimize their project's install speed and reduce dependency bloat. It's particularly useful for those publishing public packages where user experience matters.
Developers choose Cost of modules because it provides clear, actionable insights into dependency sizes that aren't easily visible with modern npm. Its focus on install speed optimization and future roadmap for pre-publish checks make it a valuable tool for maintaining efficient packages.
