Document ignored_node_modules option in netlify.toml #4684
Description
Which problem is this feature request solving?
I spent a day trying to figure out how to exclude a module from a function bundle that was over 50MB. Puppeteer doesn't leave much room and the aws-sdk v3 (despite it's tree-shaken smaller size than v2) tipped the scale and the function could not deploy.
I found out Lambdas have aws-sdk included by default so I wanted to exclude the redundant module from the bundle. I searched through the documentation, Netlify forums and poked around in the Netlify CLI source code. However, it wasn't until I found this config on zip-it-and-ship-it that I realized what to search for in the CLI source code. I found it here.
This option (as well as a number of other newer options like [dev] envFiles) are undocumented.
Describe the solution you'd like
Update the following documentation to include ignored_node_modules under the [functions] heading.
https://docs.netlify.com/configure-builds/file-based-configuration/
As far as I can tell, the docs are not open source so I can't even make a PR to fix them.
