7 tips for a Node.js developer

1. Nodemon.io

   1 151 26,584 7.7 JavaScript

   Luckily I discovered a great tool called Nodemon https://github.com/remy/nodemon. Install it by running

2. SurveyJS

3. PM2

   2 68 42,384 8.2 JavaScript

   Node.js Production Process Manager with a built-in Load Balancer.

   

   The answer to that question is a great tool called PM2 https://github.com/Unitech/pm2. PM2 is a tool like nodemon which is intended to run your node app in production. Like Nodemon it will monitor your app for changes and redeploy them, but unlike Nodemon, if PM2 encounters a crash, it will restart your node.js app right away.

4. async

   Async utilities for node and the browser

   

   Async.js https://github.com/caolan/async or “async” allows you to easily execute functions in series or parallel without the need of nesting them back to back.

5. q

   4 9 14,928 0.0 JavaScript

   Discontinued A promise library for JavaScript

   

   Another great library is Q https://github.com/kriskowal/q. This library is exposes the concept of promises. A promise is basically an object that is returned from a method with the “promise” that it will eventually provide a return value. This ties is very neatly with the asynchronous nature of javascript and node.js.
