  • pkg

    Discontinued Package your Node.js project into an executable

    JS is a JIT compiled language, I'm pretty sure what you're asking for doesn't directly exist. There are some packages like pkg that will get you CLOSE to what you want( I think, I'm not as familiar), but aren't really designed for production purposes. More like sending over a package for someone to test functionality or run tests, or for use in a container environment like Docker. So I guess you could use that, but its not exactly the most stable.

  • nexe

    🎉 create a single executable out of your node.js apps

    Maybe you're looking for something like nexe for easily creating an executable file out of your node project? I have never tried it though.

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  • docker-multi-stage-build-nodejs

    Example of building multi stage dockerized node.js app

    Docker is a decent way to accomplish this. I've seen several processes that have multistage builds and the push to DockerHub(or another similar image repository). To run it on any client machine you just need Docker installed. You just include the final built files, and required packages for runtime in the actual delivered docker image.
