Plug'n'Play allows users to run Node projects without node_modules folder, defining the way or location to resolve dependencies package files with the Plug-n-Play-control file. This feature is aimed to fix an unwell structured node_modules architecture and resulting in a faster Node.js application start-up time.
Node.js provides a way to create "add-ons" via a C-based API called N-API, which can be used to produce loadable (importable) .node modules from source code written in C/C++. [60] The modules can be directly loaded into memory and executed from within JS environment as simple CommonJS modules.
National Postal Museum (since 1993), a museum in Washington, D.C., United States; National Palace Museum, a museum in Taipei, Taiwan; npm, Inc., a software development and hosting company based in California, United States
The other major module specification in use is the ECMAScript (ES) modules specification (ES6 modules aka ES2015 modules). [2] CommonJS can be recognized by the use of the require() function and module.exports, while ES modules use import and export statements for similar (though not identical) functionality.
In his talk, Dahl mentioned his regrets about the initial design decisions with Node.js, focusing on his choices of not using promises in API design, usage of the legacy build system GYP, node_modules and package.json, leaving out file extensions, magical module resolution with index.js and breaking the sandboxed environment of V8.

A Node-RED flow describes the connection and sequencing of various input, output, and processing nodes within the Node-RED platform. Each node within a flow performs a unique and specific task. When data is transmitted to a node, the node processes it according to its designated function, before passing it on to the subsequent node in the flow.
Asynchronous module definition (AMD) is a specification for the programming language JavaScript. It defines an application programming interface (API) that defines code modules and their dependencies , and loads them asynchronously if desired.
The firmware is based on the eLua project, and built on the Espressif Non-OS SDK for ESP8266. It uses many open source projects, such as lua-cjson [9] and SPIFFS, a flash file system for embedded controllers. [10] Due to resource constraints, users need to select the modules relevant for their project and build a firmware tailored to their needs.
