Creating a Dependency

Creating a Dependency for a Node.js Function

Ensure that the corresponding Node.js version has been installed in the environment.

To install the MySQL dependency for a Node.js 8.10 function, run the following command:

npm install mysql --save

The node_modules folder is generated under the current directory.

• Linux OS

  Run the following command to generate a ZIP package.

  zip -rq mysql-node8.10.zip node_modules

  The required dependency is generated.

• Windows OS

  Compress node_modules into a ZIP file.

To install multiple dependencies, create a package.json file first. For example, enter the following content into the package.json file and then run the following command:

{
	"name": "test",
	"version": "1.0.0",
	"dependencies": {
		"redis": "~2.8.0",
		"mysql": "~2.17.1"
	}
}

npm install --save

Do not run the CNPM command to generate Node.js dependencies.

Compress node_modules into a ZIP package. This generates a dependency that contains both MySQL and Redis.

For other Node.js versions, you can create dependencies in the way stated above.
