Any plan to use npm package instead of git commit for koa-router

[Yash Thakkar]

I try to package my node app with docker. I used node alpine for base image, of course for less container size, but node alpine does not contain git to minimise image size and we are using git for aheckmann-koa-router package, so my docker built is throwing an error for alpine version

npm ERR! git clone --template=/root/.npm/_git-remotes/_templates --mirror https://github.com/aheckmann/koa-router.git /ro
ot/.npm/_git-remotes/git-https-github-com-aheckmann-koa-router-git-19e60d9-704f0691: undefined

I verified in my app, this is the only package using git for koa-router, so it will be better if we use it npm package so that we can reduce the container size from 83MB to 14MB.

node docker image link

does this link work for you?
https://www.npmjs.com/package/koa-joi-router

Yes only if I use default node image, but if I use node alpine image, then it will throw above error because package is using "koa-router": "git+https://github.com/aheckmann/koa-router.git#19e60d9", git commit and git is not available in node:alpine version to reduce docker image size.

I achieved this by using multi-stage docker build.
