I'd like to have something like this as well. In the meantime, the closest thing you can get is probably combining and minifying all your JavaScript. If you combine your app into a single .js file using a tool such as Webpack, it avoids the need to deploy the node_modules directory (assuming there's no additional non-JS files in there that are required).
