| # Fine-grained dependencies |
| |
| Declaring the entire `node_modules` directory as an input to every nodejs action |
| has performance problems. When using local sandboxing, every file is set up in |
| the kernel container for the sandboxed disk, this is slow on Mac. With remote |
| execution, we guarantee these files all need to be copied to the worker machine. |
| |
| Instead, we can declare individual npm packages as dependencies, e.g.: |
| ``` |
| nodejs_binary( |
| name = "fast", |
| data = ["@npm//jasmine"] |
| ) |
| ``` |
| |
| and only the contents of `node_modules/jasmine/` will be copied to workers. |
