Node.js is a platform built on Chrome's JavaScript runtime + for easily building fast, scalable, network applications. It uses + an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight + and efficient, perfect for data-intensive real-time applications + that run across distributed devices.

+ +

The goal of this project is to make it easy to install the + modules available on the npm package + registry.

+ +

Currently, the repository contains more than 100 new ports, + in particular:

+ +
    +
  • CoffeeScript (a programming language that transcompiles to + JavaScript)
  • +
  • node-gyp (allows building Node.js addons, often written in + C or C++)
  • +
  • Request (a simplified HTTP client)
  • +
+ +

We have also written several helpers for the porting, available + in our experimental repository. +

+ + + + +

Bring in grunt.js (and modules), the JavaScript task runner.

+
+ +

Put more effort into support of node-gyp in the USES + framework
