After nest build or nest build --webpack dist folder does not contain all required modules and I got Error: Cannot find module '@nestjs/core' when trying to run node main.js.
I could not find any clear instructions on https://docs.nestjs.com/ on how to correctly build app for production, so maybe I missed something?
Out of the box, nest cli does not support including the node_modules dependencies into the dist bundle.
However, there are some community examples of custom webpack configs that include the dependencies in the bundle, e.g. bundled-nest. As described in this issue, it is necessary to include the webpack.IgnorePlugin to whitelist unused dynamic libraries.
