A package.json file affords you a lot of great things: It serves as documentation for what packages your project depends on. It allows you to specify the versions of a package that your project can use using semantic versioning rules. Makes your build reproducable which means that its way easier to share with other developers. Requirements As a bare minimum, a package.json must have: "name" all lowercase one word, no spaces dashes and underscores allowed "version" in the form of x.x.x follows (semver spec)[https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/semantic-versioning] For example: { "name": "my-awesome-package", "version": "1.0.0"} Creating a package.json To create a package.json run: > npm init This will initate a command line questionnaire that will conclude
NodeSource Next Post Managing Dependencies Your first Node.js package by Elijah Insua on Jul 14 2014 Share This is pretty simple, let's dive in! Has someone already written this package? It might be worth saving yourself some time and doing a couple npm install devdependencies of searches for the package you are looking for. As of this writing there are
Npm Devdependencies
~86k packages in npm and there is a good chance someone has done something similar to what you are building. Some good npm install save places to search are: http://npmjs.org, http://node-modules.com, and http://npmsearch.com. There is also npm search on the command-line which you may find useful. Choose a name Find a name that isn't taken and clearly describes what your package is https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/using-a-package.json doing. You'll probably not want to use your-first-node-package as below, but for example's sake that is what we will be using. Choose a descriptive name! $ npm view your-first-node-package npm ERR! 404 'your-first-node-package' is not in the npm registry. ... Woohoo, that name is not taken, let's take it. Project initialization It's probably best if you create a GitHub repository before initializing your project. That way when we run npm init, it will already know http://nodesource.com/blog/your-first-nodejs-package/ what repository you're pulling from and your git remote will be properly setup to track origin/master. If that was all mumbo-jumbo, then it might be wise to have the git cheatsheet on hand. **Note**: you don't need to use git in order to use npm, but you'll find that many packages in the npm registry are hosted on GitHub. Understanding the basic git commands will come in handy, promise! $ git clone git@github.com:user/your-first-node-package.git $ cd your-first-node-package OK, now we are ready to initialize package.json which will let npm know what the name of your package is as well as what dependencies it uses $ npm init This utility will walk you through creating a package.json file. It only covers the most common items, and tries to guess sane defaults. See `npm help json` for definitive documentation on these fields and exactly what they do. Use `npm install

This module makes for a good example, since it's API provides both a CLI binary and a requirable node.js module. npm install http-server This performs a local install of http-server in our current working directory You may also notice a new node_modules/ folder. You can ignore this for now. Installing a npm package into an application mkdir mynewapp/ cd mynewapp npm install http-server touch test.js run script node test.js Notice how we: require('http-server')? What kind of wizardry is this? http-server is not the name of a native node.js module. It's the name of the package we just installed from npm. node and npm are smart enough to automatically load modules from our local node_modules/ folder. Understanding Global versus Local installs in npm back to top By default, npm will install all packages into the local directo

There are also some websites that have special search features specifically for certain kinds of packages, like the aptly named react-components.com. npm on the client Tools like browserify and webpack are designed to provide a Node-like environment on the client so that many npm packages, even ones originally intended for the server, can run unmodified. Meteor’s ES2015 module system does this for you out of the box with no additional configuration necessary. In most cases, you can simply import npm dependencies from a client file, just as you would on the server. When creating a new application Meteor installs the meteor-node-stubs npm package to help provide this client browser compatibility. If you are upgrading an application to Meteor 1.3 you may have to run meteor npm install --save meteor-node-stubs manually. Installing npm Packages npm packages are configured in a package.json file at the root of your project. If you create a new Meteor project, you will have such a file created for you. If not you can run meteor npm init to create one. To install a package into your app you run the npm install command with the --save flag: 1meteor npm install --save moment This will both update your package.json with information about the dependency and download the package into your app’s local node_modules/ directory. Typically, you don’t check the node_modules/ directory into source control and your teammates run meteor npm install to get up to date when dependencies change: 1meteor npm install If the package is just a development dependency (i.e. it’s used for testing, linting or the like) then you should use --save-dev. That way if you have some kind of build script, it can do npm install --production and
