We have seen from the Using npm modules recipe in Chapter 2, Customizing with Packages, how to wrap npm packages inside your own personal package, using the Npm.depends() directive. That's all well and good, but what if we want to just use npm directly, without creating a custom package? Arunoda Susiripala — one of the most prolific (and brilliant) Meteor community developers, has written a package that helps us do just that. In this recipe, you will learn how to use the meteorhacks:npm package to implement a npm module directly in your code. Specifically, we will use the Highlight.js module on the server to properly format JavaScript code, as you might see in markdown or in an online code editor.
