Simplify Node.js Distribution: Converting to a Single Executable with pkg

Learn how to convert Node.js code into a standalone executable using the pkg module for easier deployment. The pkg module allows you to package Node.js projects into executables, which can be useful for deployment, sharing code with users without Node.js, or hiding source code. Installing pkg is simple, and using it involves running commands to package your app. You can also customize packaging via package.json. However, there are limitations such as difficulty with native modules, dynamic requires, and read-only snapshot filesystems. Despite these, pkg is valuable for server apps, CLI tools, and distribution without needing Node.js installed.
