Are dependencies included in the import/export in MongoDB Stitch?


I tried MongoDB Stitch earlier this year, and at the time it did not feel like a finished product (for example, apps cannot be renamed). I am giving it another go, and this time I am interested to see how I could create automated tests for my Stitch functions using Jest (this also may not be straightforward).

I have noticed that the Functions section has a DependenciesBeta tab. Here one may zip up NPM modules in a tarball, and they will become available in the Stitch JS environment. I wonder if I could use this to circumvent the import difficulties I am experiencing with the functions system - instead I could make (untested) lightweight calls from Functions to Dependencies, and then just test the dependencies.

However, I want to be able to import my app automatically using the console command, to deploy automatically in a CI pipeline. For this to work, import/export would need to include dependencies as well, but the file-format docs do not mention dependencies. Is there any support for syncing dependencies from the console, as part of an app import?

    Yes, you can import dependencies using mongodb-stitch-cli (v1.10+).

    To upload external dependencies:

    Please note that currently stitch-cli does not support export for dependencies yet.
