A Node.js artifact is a package with code and relevant information. These packages are used to distribute libraries, frameworks, and other components you can add to Node.js projects.
NPM
NPM (Node Package Manager) is a package manager for JavaScript. It helps developers easily install, update, and manage dependencies in their projects. You can also use it to search, download, and publish packages, as well as create new ones.
By default, Node.js already has npm, so you do not need to install it manually.
In npm, artifacts are files with specific content which you can use as dependencies in other projects. Examples of the artifacts:
- Packages
- Dependencies
- devDependencies
For more information about npm, see the relevant documentation.
