How to use npm packages in Netlify Functions
New Course Coming Soon:
Get Really Good at Git
Initialize a package.json file in the root folder of your project:
npm init -y
Then install any npm package you need, for example:
npm install axios
A node_modules folder and a package-lock.json file will be created. Commit both (yes, you need to add the node_modules
content to the repository you want to deploy, try to keep your dependencies as few as possible)
That’s it. You can now access those npm packages using require()
in your Netlify Functions.
Are you intimidated by Git? Can’t figure out merge vs
rebase? Are you afraid of screwing up something any time
you have to do something in Git? Do you rely on ChatGPT
or random people’s answer on StackOverflow to fix your
problems? Your coworkers are tired of explaining Git to
you all the time? Git is something we all need to use,
but few of us really master it. I created this course to
improve your Git (and GitHub) knowledge at a radical
level. A course that helps you feel less frustrated with
Git. Launching Summer 2024. Join the waiting list!
