this is a simple question, but I have been puzzling over it for a while now and it doesn't have much documentation to look at:
I've got a development setup with ClojureScript, figwheel, npm deps working just fine for me. But when I produce a production, compiled JS file, it does not find the npm dependency files. So where and how do I place which of these packages in the production web server, so that they will be found and loaded?

All files required to run your JS will be included in the compilation output after :advanced optimizations. No node_modules files will be required at all so there should not be any need to place them anywhere. Only the files produced by the build directly should be loaded.
:npm-deps however is an alpha feature with many known issues. You can use alternate solutions like webpack or shadow-cljs which work much more reliable.
:advanced but that didn't work. I guess I'll look at the tools you recommended.
shadow-cljs and yes it works with nearly all npm modules. Just npm install the-thing and (:require ["the-thing" :as x]), no additional steps needed. webpack is a bit more involved and you should follow the guide I linked. Maybe your :npm-deps setup can be fixed but you did not provide enough information to help. Maybe post your build config and the errors you get.shadow-cljs is more mature, I'll just use that. Thanks.shadow-cljs, could I ask one more thing? what is the appropriate target for using the compiled file with a web worker (using servant)?
