Error creating executable in electron

Question

I'm developing an app with electron and angular cli 2

The problem is when I install other node packages.

In development mode works fine, but when exporting the final application with electron-packager it tells me that:

A JavaScript error occurred in the main process
    Uncaught Exception:
    Error: Can not find module 'name_package'
    ...
    ...
    ...

Some node packages are:
jsonfile,
async,
electron-json-storage

How can I include all node packages in the final application?

Use 'Rollup' https://angular.io/docs/ts/latest/cookbook/aot-compiler.html — Max Kilovatiy, Apr 18 '17 at 15:19
But that is for angular 2 and not for angular cli, the environments are configured differently In fact it is added with the parameter --aot al building and it does not work — Vladimir J. Castañeda G., Apr 18 '17 at 15:28

Set the prune option of electron-packager to false like this:

electron-packager . "myApp" --prune=false

When prune is true electron-packager will remove all packages in the devDependencies so setting it to false will probably solve your problem.
