modernWeb

A wrapper around multiple functions that simplify life of a modern nodejs developer

Important note

While we are glad that this package is being actively used and downloaded, we did not expect such a huge number of downloads. Hence, we are rushing to document the package. Please bear with us.

What is modernWeb?

modernWeb is a package that provides many functions as a module, and has to be used in conjunction with import statements either in a nodejs environment or using transpilers like parcelJS (which we used and tested against this package).

The package itself needs dependencies that you can install by npm install.
