Question
Does App Platform runs npm install or yarn for you?

My project has some dependencies, and I could not find out in the docs the answer. So I added a custom script like npm ci && npm run generate to my NuxtJS static site, but it is consuming more build time. If I do not need the install step, it would be faster :D.

If you have a
package.jsonfile and either apackage-lock.jsonor ayarn.lockfile in your repo, App Platform will install Node, NPM, and Yarn (if usingyarn.lock). It will also runnpm ciand cache the installednode_modulesso they can re-used in future builds.All you’d need to do is set your Build Command to
npm run generate. It will be run at the end of the build process (afternpm ci).If you do not need anything beyond
npm ciyou can leave the build command field empty.
