package.json is not copied to the build folder

The package.json file is not copied to the build folder, but yet without it, the contents of the build folder can’t be deployed on a remote server, since you wouldn’t be able to recreate the node dependencies in node_modules. I suspect the best way to add it is to just add this to the build.js?

s.cp('package.json', 'build/package.json');

Or is there a better way, or am I missing something?

Ok, thanks for clarifying!

In that case, you could zip the contents with exclusions (usually the zip -x flag), then keeping package.json in its current location. (/public and /server are the directories to exclude, however you can also exclude some of the config files as well e.g. .babelrc etc, however they add marginal weight.

You can also do as you proposed, however the package.json in that you copy to build will require modifications to the start script.
