Description

NPM (Node Package Manager) is a package manager for node.js packages or modules. NPM consist of a command line client and an online database of public and private packages, called the npm registry.

A package comes with an important file called package.json which usually contains metadata about the project. Packages can be installed as dependencies which are used in the project or as dev dependencies which are only used for testing or for development. Examples of very popular packages are:
