Inquiry - Deploy nodejs function with node_modules due to custom code/branch

Hey all, I keep reading to not deploy a nodejs application with the node moduiles. Issue is that I have code written in the module to extend it. I do not want to make make it public and deploy to npm. Will this be a problem? Would removing the package.json file solve this?

You can include it in your node modules, but you may need to deploy manually because the CLI tries to ignore node modules

Interesting. Good to know. Thank you Steven.

Oh, last thing. I see the block in the docs for functions and I see the manual deployment. So I have to do a manual deployment through the console, or can I also do it through the CLI?

I don't think you can use the CLI. Or maybe if you don't put node_modules in the git ignore

Gotcha. I'll give it a shot. Thanks for the idea.
