Compilation Takes a Long Time When Using Data Mapper in the Project

[a0529gox]

Current Limitation

The DataMapper Mediator is very effective and often clearer than the PayloadFactory in some use cases. However, it significantly increases the compilation time in VS Code Extensions. When I click "Build and Run," Maven starts by removing all files in the "./target" directory, downloading Node.js and npm, and running "npm install" before packaging the ".car" archive. This process can take more than 10 minutes. After the initial compilation, subsequent compilations also take a long time because Node.js, npm, and the node_modules directory, which are downloaded during "npm install," are all removed as they reside in the "./target" folder. If I use DataMapper, every time I compile the project, I have to wait more than 10 minutes for downloading Node.js, npm, and running "npm install." This is quite frustrating.

Suggested Improvement

1. Change the location of Node.js and node_modules.
2. Allow users to configure the location of Node.js and node_modules.
3. Stop removing Node.js and node_modules from the ./target folder.
