Version | This read-only field shows the current version of the runtime environment. |
Code Assistance |
When developing a Node.js application it can be convenient to have code completion, reference resolution, validation, and debugging capabilities for Node core modules (fs , path ,
http , etc.). However, these modules are compiled into the Node.js binary. AppCode provides the ability
to configure these sources as a JavaScript library and associate it with your project.
|
Packages |
A number of tools are started through Node.js, for example, the CoffeeScript, TypeScript,
and Less transpilers, YUI, UglifyJS, and Closure compressors, Karma test runner,
Grunt task runner, etc.
The Node Package Manager (npm) is the easiest way to install these tools, the more so that you have to install Node.js anyway.
The Packages area shows a list of all the NPM-dependent packages that are currently installed on your computer.
