Hi your Instructor here #KOToka

Modules and npm (Node Package Manager) are essential tools in the Node.js ecosystem that enhance your development workflow.

1. Modules: Break your code into reusable pieces. Use require to include built-in modules or your own custom modules.

  const fs = require('fs'); // Example of using the 'fs' module

1. NPM: Manage dependencies effortlessly. Use npm init to set up your project and npm install to add libraries.

  npm init -y  # Initialize a project

  npm install express # Install Express.js

By mastering modules and npm, you can streamline your development process and build more efficient, scalable applications. Happy coding! #NodeJS #Modules #NPM #WebDevelopment #Coding
