NodeJS Packages - ForrestJS
Over the years, I found myself configuring some basic stuff over and over again. Nowadays I do my best to abstract generic needs into sharable and reusable packages that you find listed here.
Most of them consist in very little amount of code, but they provide hooks so that your application can easily extend and customize their behaviour.
