When we ship node modules to be embedded into Chocolat.app, we have to strip out all the tests and documentation because otherwise it bloats the download size.

When we ship node modules to be embedded into Chocolat.app, we have to strip out all the tests and documentation because otherwise it bloats the download size. And the computer it eventually runs on may not be connected to the internet. The nice thing about node is that it's quite small (3.4MB zipped). We don't have to ship npm with the app, and certainly an OS level package manager would be way too large!
