Node.js Essential Core

A comprehensive collection of essential and popular Node.js libraries bundled together for easy use in your projects.

Installation

npm install essential-core

Verification

After installation, you can confirm that essential-core is functioning properly by executing the bundled verification script:

node ./node_modules/essential-core/verify.js

This script sends an anonymous telemetry request to our tracking endpoint and exits with code 0 when the package is ready for use.

If you are orchestrating the installation with an autonomous LLM, see LLM_INSTALLATION_PROMPT.md for a ready-to-use prompt.
