Chapter 3. Node Modules

Before writing Node applications we must learn about Node modules and packages. Modules and packages are the building blocks for breaking down your application into smaller pieces.

In this chapter we will:

  • Learn what a module is

  • Learn about the CommonJS module specification

  • Learn how Node finds modules

  • Learn about the npm package management system

So, let's get on with it.
