How to find out the size of the node_modules folder?

Question

JavaScript

Windows can't determine the size of this folder

Answer 1

Our computers are not yet powerful enough for this.

Answer 2

Maybe it's time to update npm so that the module directory is flat building?

Answer 3

A question worthy of discussion.
Paths in nodemodules are too long for Windows due to infinite nesting.
And there are countless files.
Put it in a zip and see, although it may not be packed for the above reason.

Answer 4

Try running npm dedupe first to get rid of duplicate packages and make the tree as flat as possible. Then - consider the size.

Answer 5

Absolutely in all projects I can see. What's on the work machine, what's on the home.
You can also find out the weight from package.json via https://bundlephobia.com
