Awesome Node.js: Curated list of delightful Node.js packages

I'd recommend adding webpack ( https://github.com/webpack/webpack ) to build tools. It's similar to browserify but has some nice extra features.

I want to recommend a package that I really love:

https://github.com/shutterstock/node-common-errors

This is one of the most useful packages that I have come across. It gives you a range of common types of errors and a error handler that converts each error type into the appropriate HTTP status code.

This is very convenient (especially for APIs) as it builds readable error messages and correct status codes with very little work from the programmer.

Not a bad list, though like others have said it's very much a keyword search result. I'd like to add my own Node lib, Interfake. It's a tool for rapid API prototyping. It's in active development, too :) https://github.com/basicallydan/interfake.

Saves me a lot of time, personally, especially when developing SPAs where the API isn't finished yet.

I'd recommend adding http://harpjs.com/ as well. Static web server with built-in preprocessing (and it compiles to static content of course). You can mix jade, md, less, stylus, etc.

I'll add my own as well. We recently open sourced the entire project under MIT. Basically if you're looking for a nice Node based CMS that acts like a static site generator, we're a decent option.

http://www.webhook.com

One I'd recommend https://github.com/substack/js-traverse

Traverse and transform objects by visiting every node on a recursive walk

I recommend adding my async trycatch library with long stack traces: https://github.com/CrabDude/trycatch.

So now even node.js packages can be "delightful"?

I don't think that any effort went into this. It's just a list of the most popular libs for keyword-x.
