Most modules will provide an API to expose their functionality. The npm registry is where most Node.js modules are stored, where there are over a million Node.js modules available.

This chapter will first cover how to consume existing Node.js modules from the npm registry for use within your applications using the npm command-line interface.

Later in this chapter, you'll learn how to develop and publish your own Node.js module to the npm registry. There will also be an introduction to using the newer ECMAScript modules ...
