Hello and welcome to this video.

2
00:00:02,550 --> 00:00:09,470
In this video, I'm going to introduce you to modules and packages in no doubt, yes.

3
00:00:09,570 --> 00:00:11,280
What is a module?

4
00:00:11,550 --> 00:00:12,930
He no doubt yes.

5
00:00:13,590 --> 00:00:24,900
Modules are basically like JavaScript libraries, and they contain a set of functions that you can include

6
00:00:25,170 --> 00:00:26,890
in your applications.

7
00:00:26,910 --> 00:00:38,580
Node.js has a set of built in modules that you can use without any further installation in order to

8
00:00:38,580 --> 00:00:39,960
use a module.

9
00:00:40,530 --> 00:00:50,580
You have to use the required function with the name of the module to bring that module into your project.

10
00:00:50,610 --> 00:00:59,490
For example, if you are importing the 8TB module, you use the required function and then pass in the

11
00:00:59,490 --> 00:01:04,470
name of the module that you want to include in your application.

12
00:01:04,500 --> 00:01:11,220
You can also create your own modules and then import them into applications.

13
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:12,930
What is a package?

14
00:01:13,470 --> 00:01:20,370
A package in Node.js contains all the files you need for a module.

15
00:01:20,820 --> 00:01:27,810
So modules are basically JavaScript libraries that you can include in your project.

16
00:01:28,350 --> 00:01:34,170
In order to download a package, you have to install it using npm.

17
00:01:34,650 --> 00:01:45,320
NPM stands for Node Package Manager, which is the utility that you will need to use to install a node

18
00:01:46,140 --> 00:01:46,830
package.

19
00:01:47,220 --> 00:01:52,250
NPM is automatically installed when you also install node.

20
00:01:52,260 --> 00:01:53,250
Thought this?
