This extensive library exists... as millions of separate JS pieces and snippets scattered around the web, and hundreds of (often fairly buggy) node-xyz modules on GitHub. Sure, it may be slightly less convenient than a standardized, readily packaged out-of-box library and it doesn't have 10 years of testing and refining under its belt yet. But it's there. Some like it raw and rough!
- DTrejo 16y agoComplete searchable list of modules: http://search.npmjs.org/ http://search.npmjs.org/ Partial list: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/modules https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/modules All easily installable via npm install express and in yourscript.js: require('express') Edit: Isaac Schlueter is currently working on getting tests of the modules to show up in search.npmjs.org (to see which modules are good).
- pjscott 16y agoIt's surprisingly liberating to work with a software ecosystem like that. I thought it would just be frustrating, but it's actually fun. The easy forking of small, simple-to-hack, almost-adequate libraries on GitHub really, really helps.
