Types of Dependencies

Most people who use npm use it to install packages that their applications depend one, known familiarly as dependencies. What a lot of people don't know is that there's actually a vibrant array of different dependency types (ok, fine, just 5ish) that can help you better serve yourself, as either an application or package author, as well as the users of your package.

Before now it was a little tricky to learn what those dependency types are, what differentiates them, and why you'd want to use them. This article will hopefully make that a bit more clear.

help us with npm's website! (in a new different way)

From it's inception, npm has been keenly focused on open source values. However, as we've grown as a company, we've learned the important lesson that making source code available under a open license is the bare minimum for open source software. To take it even further, we also learned that "open source" doesn't necessarily mean community driven. With these insights in mind, the web team has decided to make some changes to the community interface of npm's website- with the goal of creating a more efficient and effective experience for everyone involved.

Hi {{}}!

Thanks so much for applying for a scholarship to npmcamp! We're excited to inform you we've chosen you for one of the scholarships!

The event is happening all-day on July 30th in Oakland, CA, and your scholarship covers the cost of the event ticket. We unfortunately do not have the means to sponsor travel at the moment.

Please let us know as soon as possible if you'llbe able to attend!

Additionally, we'll be having a pre-conference educational event, NodeTogether, which will happen the night before at npm's offices, close to the conference venue. We'd love for you to attend as a student or mentor!

(ooh, just remembered another tip: kill -s USR1 <node pid> will turn the debugger on any node process and you can point node-inspector at it) -chris

ooh another fun debugging tip: dbg = vm.runInDebugContext('Debug'); mirror = dbg.MakeMirror(objectValue); console.log(mirror.referencedBy()) - chris it lists all referencing objects to the object you pass to MakeMirror

turn on browser styles in computed properties in the browser - jeff
