Avoiding Global Modules

The video tutorial explains how to set up a development script using nodeMon in a Node.js project. It highlights the benefits of creating reusable scripts in package.json for local development. The tutorial also discusses the drawbacks of using globally installed modules and emphasizes the importance of installing dependencies locally to ensure project portability. Finally, it provides a step-by-step guide on uninstalling global modules and installing them as local dependencies, ensuring that the project works seamlessly for all collaborators.

What is the primary purpose of creating a second script in package.json?

• To automate server restarts during development

• To deploy the application to Heroku

• To manage version control with Git

• To create a backup of the project

How does a development script benefit collaboration among developers?

• It simplifies the process of starting the server

• It provides a graphical user interface for the project

• It allows developers to work offline

• It automatically updates the project dependencies

What is a major drawback of using globally installed modules?

• They increase the project's file size

• They are not compatible with GitHub

• They require manual updates

• They are not listed as project dependencies

Why is it important to install nodemon as a local dependency?

• To reduce the project's memory usage

• To ensure consistent module versions across environments

• To enable automatic deployment to Heroku

• To improve the application's performance

What command is used to uninstall a global module in Node.js?

• npm remove -g

• npm delete -g

• npm erase -g

• npm uninstall -g

What flag is used to save a module as a development dependency?

• --save-prod

• --save-dev

• --save-local

• --save-global

What is the advantage of having nodemon as a dev dependency?

• It is not installed in the production environment

• It is automatically updated with each project commit

• It allows for faster server response times

• It provides a user interface for managing scripts
