Hi there,
You can still have your dependencies defined in a package.json file as normal. The platform will detect the file and will install those dependencies as normal.
You don’t have to commit the node_modules directory.
Here is an example of a Node App with a package.json file:
https://github.com/digitalocean/sample-functions-nodejs-qrcode/blob/main/packages/qr/qr/package.json
https://github.com/digitalocean/sample-functions-nodejs-qrcode
The README md file contains the instructions on how to deploy that sample Node function.
Let me know if you have any questions!
Best,
Bobby
