Top 23 Node Open-Source Projects

npm -v npm does not support Node.js v10.19.0 You should probably upgrade to a newer version of node as we can't make any promises that npm will work with this version. You can find the latest version at https://nodejs.org/ /usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm/lib/npm.js:32 #unloaded = false ^ SyntaxError: Invalid or unexpected token at Module._compile (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:723:23) at Object.Module._extensions..js (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:789:10) at Module.load (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:653:32) at tryModuleLoad (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:593:12) at Function.Module._load (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:585:3) at Module.require (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:692:17) at require (internal/modules/cjs/helpers.js:25:18) at module.exports (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm/lib/cli.js:22:15) at Object.

Next.js is optimised for deployment to the Vercel platform - which provides a fast and easy way to deploy Next.js projects. Apart from that, Next.js can also be deployed using Docker or a virtual machine that can run Node.js. My aim is to deploy Next.js to AWS using Serverless solutions that are low-cost and easy to scale. Thus, I won't be setting up any EC2 instances or EKS/ECS containers. Instead, I will use the following components:
-
Scout APM
Less time debugging, more time building. Scout APM allows you to find and fix performance issues with no hassle. Now with error monitoring and external services monitoring, Scout is a developer's best friend when it comes to application development.
-
an alternative is install nvm - this is particularly useful if you work with multiple versions of node
-
Nest
A progressive Node.js framework for building efficient, scalable, and enterprise-grade server-side applications on top of TypeScript & JavaScript (ES6, ES7, ES8) 🚀
This tutorial will teach you how to implement 2FA authentication in a NestJS application. Grab the code from Github at any time. Let’s get started!

Nope. https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome-nodejs

You should always run your servers using a process manager that will automatically restart them in the event of a crash. A common one is PM2, but you also have systemd or upstart on Linux, and Docker users can use its restart policy. Once this is in place, reliable service will be restored almost instantly, and you'll still have the details of the uncaught exception so that it can be investigated and corrected promptly. You can go further by running more than one process and employ a load balancer to distribute incoming requests. This will help to prevent downtime in case one of the instances is lost temporarily.

Nodemon.io
Monitor for any changes in your node.js application and automatically restart the server - perfect for development
We can now add the start script to package.json to start the app. Use nodemon for local development purposes to autoreload the Node server when changes are made:

n8n
Free and open fair-code licensed node based Workflow Automation Tool. Easily automate tasks across different services.
Project mention: Huginn: System for building agents that perform automated tasks online | news.ycombinator.com | 2022-01-23An alternative to this (more similar to node red, actually) is n8n [1], which is pretty cool, but as others have said here, I never found a good application for this.

I really enjoy Ava [1] or anything assert-tape-like [2]. "uvu" [3] is getting a lot of love lately, but it's very feature limited and much of it's touted advantages are at the detriment to feature set.

Jest is great for front-end (or full stack integration) testing, but I feel it's specialized for that use-case and doesn't always play nice with backend/middle-tier testing needs.

Project mention: Understanding regex - what does \ mean? | reddit.com/r/learnjavascript | 2022-01-26
Or use a library built by much more experienced people like validator

With over 17.5k stars on GitHub and about 35 million weekly downloads on npm, ws is one of the most popular Node.js WebSocket libraries available.
-
These stats don't even measure all the different ways that pnpm may be installed! They only measure the downloads of the pnpm npm package. This year we also added compiled binary versions of pnpm, which are shipped differently.

Directus
Open-Source Data Platform 🐰 — Directus wraps any SQL database with a real-time GraphQL+REST API and an intuitive app for non-technical users.
-
As we are creating starter files, let's use ShellJS to run commands like git clone, mkdir...

Project mention: How to setup your next react project(typescript + eslint + prettier + husky + lint-staged,cz-cli) | dev.to | 2022-01-22
Commit messages are very important for maintaining a project. It can get difficult to maintain a similar commit convention when you are working in a larger team. cz-cli is here to help , we can enforce committing format by using the amazing tool. We'll be using conventional-changelog. configuration to follow AngularJS's commit message convention.

There’s also this: https://www.npmjs.com/package/verdaccio

Project mention: NodeBB - Node.js based forum software built for the modern web | reddit.com/r/CKsTechNews | 2021-12-25

Brain.js - Machine-learning framework.
-
apollo-server
🌍 Spec-compliant and production ready JavaScript GraphQL server that lets you develop in a schema-first way. Built for Express, Connect, Hapi, Koa, and more.
For backend, learn NodeJS, a server framework like ExpressJS or Apollo Server, and a database solution ie MongoDB or Postgres (I would suggest Postgres - this is a good course). A decent course for Node could be this.

Project mention: Testing Node.js/Express app + MongoDB with jest and supertest | dev.to | 2021-11-15
supertest npm package that helps test HTTP
-
Because Undici re-invents HTTP primitives and relies directly on sockets, our established mocking approaches like Nock no longer work. Luckily, Undici comes with its own built-in mocks, so we can still write unit tests against it. This post goes into detail into Undici’s mocking support, walking you through specific use-cases and examples.
