How to reduce node modules size in any node app

Hi Folks,

Today we will discuss about how to reduce the size of the node_modules folder by removing the repeated, unwanted libs from node_modules folder.

I will be using a tool called ModClean to achieve this, Let's deep dive into the tool installation, usage and how to reduce our project build size.

1. Install ModClean with npm i modclean -g
2. Navigate to the project folder whether node_modules folder resides in your project and just execute modclean command
3. Once the compression is completed check the node_modules folder size it will be reduced.

We can also use different patterns by setting the patterns flag while executing the command.
