Types of Modules/Packages in Nodejs

$$/$$

In this segment, you will look at some other packages in Node and also learn about different types of modules/packages in Node.

 

Let's now discuss core modules and how you can see the lists of all the core modules in Node.

$$/$$

In the video above, you came across another type of module, known as the core module. Now let's discuss one of the core modules which is the 'fs' module.

$$/$$

In the last video, you came across the fs module, which stands for file-system. This module provides the capability of the local file management system.

 

Before moving on to the fs module, let's first look at the different types of modules/packages in Node.

$$/$$

In this segment, you learnt the following facts:

  1. There are three types of modules/packages in Node.js:

    A. Custom modules/packages: These modules/packages are created and defined by the user; there is no need to install a custom module. However, you need to use the require function to import a custom module by giving its path to start using it. 

    B. Third-party modules/packages: These modules/packages are provided by Node Package Manager; they have already been created by someone else for you. You are required to install a third-party module via NPM and import it via the require function while giving the name of the module as the ID to start using it.

    C. Core modules: These modules are provided by Node by default; you do not need to define them. Also, these are not required to be installed prior to their usage. You can just use the require function to import a core module to start using it.
    Examples: buffer, os, events, http, https, module, path, url, fs, v8, etc.
     
  2. You can see the list of all core modules using the following statement:

    console.log(require('module').builtinModules);
    

     

  3. fs is a core module standing for file-system. This module provides the local file system management capability to Node.js, which is one of the factors that differentiates Node (server-side JavaScript) from client-side JavaScript. 

 

In the next segment, you will learn more about the fs module and its APIs.
