Configuring .npmignore

[shama]

I think we should configure the .npmignore files within the contrib plugins to only include relevant files to run the task. No docs, tests or Gruntfile.js. That way we can alleviate a little bit of the time and space it takes to install the tasks.

Any objections or something I'm missing by doing this?

That's probably a good idea. Personally, I like having all that extra in npm modules so that I can debug more easily when necessary, but I doubt that's a common use.

[sindresorhus]

Definitely, but we should rather use the files property in package.json to include files, instead of ignoring.

Huge 👍 from me though.

Ok, let's do that ^. @CaryLandholt let me know if you have any interest in doing this otherwise I'll write a script and take care of this soon. Thanks!

Just for clarification, let's include:

{
  "files": [
    "tasks/",
    "AUTHORS",
    "CHANGELOG",
    "CONTRIBUTING.md",
    "LICENSE-MIT",
    "package.json",
    "README.md"
  ]
}

[sindresorhus]

no need for AUTHORS, CHANGELOG, CONTRIBUTING.md in the package. And package.json and readme.md is always included, so no need to specify.

Cool, did not know that... so that makes it really simple:

{
  "files": [
    "tasks",
    "LICENSE-MIT"
  ]
}

EDIT: Removed the /. Thanks Sindre!

[sindresorhus]

yup, you can drop the / too.
