sindresorhus/awesome-nodejs

This repository is a curated list of high-quality Node.js packages and resources. It does not contain any code of its own, instead, it is a hand-picked directory of links to useful tools, libraries, and learning materials for anyone working with Node.js, which is a JavaScript runtime that lets you run JavaScript code outside of a web browser, typically on servers or in command-line tools. The list is organized into dozens of categories covering virtually every area of Node.js development. You will find sections for web frameworks, HTTP clients, database adapters, testing tools, logging libraries, command-line utilities, authentication helpers, image processing, data validation, and many more. Beyond code packages, there are also sections for tutorials, books, articles, videos, newsletters, and community resources. The purpose is to save developers time when starting a new project or looking for a solution to a specific problem. Rather than searching through thousands of npm packages with no quality signal, this list gives you a trusted starting point: every entry has been evaluated for usefulness and quality before being included. You would use this list when you are beginning a Node.js project and need to decide which libraries to use, or when you know you need to solve a specific problem, say, sending emails, validating forms, processing PDFs, or managing background jobs, and want to find the most respected options without wading through noise. There is no runtime or programming language requirement to use this list itself, since it is simply a Markdown document. The resources it links to are all built for Node.js and JavaScript.
