Using npm Dependencies

attention

As of NodeCG v0.9, per-bundle bower and npm dependencies are no longer automatically installed. It is up to the user to run whatever installation commands are necessary in each bundle.

Install npm dependencies as you would in any other Node.js project. Extensions can then access these dependencies directly, via normal require statements:

bundles/my-bundle/package.json

{
    "name": "my-bundle",
    ...
    "dependencies": {
        "some-dep": "^1.0.0"
    }
}

bundles/my-bundle/extension.js

const someDep = require('some-dep');

module.exports = function(nodecg) {
    // I can use someDep whenever I want!
};
