You learned a lot in this chapter about modules and packages for Node.js.
Specifically, we covered implementing modules and packages for Node.js, managing installed modules and packages, and saw how Node.js locates modules.
Now that you've learned about modules and packages, we're ready to use them to build applications, which is the topic for the next chapter.
