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.
In June 2011, Microsoft and Joyent implemented a native Windows version of Node.js. [19] The first Node.js build supporting Windows was released in July 2011. In January 2012, Dahl yielded management of the project to npm creator Isaac Schlueter. [20] In January 2014, Schlueter announced that Timothy J. Fontaine would lead the project. [21]
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.
The creation of Node.js in 2009 by Ryan Dahl sparked a significant increase in the usage of JavaScript outside of web browsers. Node combines the V8 engine, an event loop, and I/O APIs, thereby providing a stand-alone JavaScript runtime system. [29] [30] As of 2018, Node had been used by millions of developers, [31] and npm had the most modules ...
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.
A merge module is a special kind of Windows Installer database that contains the components needed to install a discrete software bundle. [1] A merge module cannot be installed alone, but must be merged into a standard Windows Installer installation during the creation of the installation.
More complex installers may display a "custom setup" dialog box, from which the user can select which features to install or remove. The package author defines the product features. A word processor , for example, might place the program's core file into one feature, and the program's help files, optional spelling checker and stationery modules ...
V8 from Google is the most used JavaScript engine. Google Chrome and the many other Chromium-based browsers use it, as do applications built with CEF, Electron, or any other framework that embeds Chromium. Other uses include the Node.js and Deno runtime systems. SpiderMonkey is developed by Mozilla for use in Firefox and its forks.
