State of Nodejs (tracking)

[hsjobeki]

State of the Ecosystem

As of today there are no "easy to use" nodejs plug-n-play solutions that both work out of the box, but also provide the important feature of deeply overriding dependencies and modifying the overall build process.

Features

This list may contain all base requirements that are fundamentally important.

• Ease of use
• Override
  • Modify the build of the parent (build phases, node version, ... )
  • Modify dependencies
    • unpack phase
    • enable/disable/alter lifecycle scripts
    • Source Override (e.g. with custom derivation)
• Support to debug and find problems fast

This list may be extended and checked against the state of the WIP-node-v3 module.
