A written guide of best practices for authoring small, focused JavaScript modules for npm (CommonJS, front- and back-end). It covers naming conventions, API design, testing, versioning, and packaging conventions.

Use cases

• how to structure a new npm module
• naming conventions for javascript packages
• best practices for writing small focused node modules
• how to design a module api
• npm package publishing checklist
• when to prefer dependencies over writing utilities

When to choose

• you are publishing a new npm package and want conventions for naming, API design, and packaging
• you are transitioning from large frameworks to small composable modules
• you want a concise style guide for CommonJS module authorship

When to avoid

• you need up-to-date guidance covering ESM, modern tooling, or TypeScript
• you need an executable tool or linter rather than prose advice
• you need framework-specific best practices
