I am working on smaller, but faster SSD drives, so every Megabyte hurts.

We are also used to zipping up entire projects and mailing it to developers costing half my rate

If I run the command

yo @microsoft/sharepoint

It kindly adds 318 Megabytes I do not want in my projectfolder

Can these be moved?

  • Nope this is how npm works. A similar question for angular 2 since angular 2 also uses npm. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/38718690/huge-number-of-files-generated-for-every-angularjs-2-project. The final deployment files will be bundled and will be very few. – Akhoy Aug 19 '16 at 10:57

Welcome to the world of NPM! This is unfortunately how it works and depending on the modules you download and their dependencies you will get even more once you start building larger projects.

Also have you looked at Nuget and the packages folders on a classic simple SharePoint Add-in.
