File structure on windows machines #119

Closed Karnith closed 9 years ago

Karnith commented 10 years ago

this isn't an issue yet, more of a suggestion. I would use npm dedupe to flatten the dir structure as much as possible. In large apps with lots of dependencies / sub dependencies as the file path can easily exceed what windows is able to handle (I have learned this from experience). Using npm dedupe will cause the dir structure to be wider instead of deeper.

Just a tip :)

Great tip Karnith,

I will definitely put it on my trello todo list! Seems like a quick win for the project. Thanks!

Is there a limit at how long a file path can be in windows?
