Package Management for Javascript packages with Nexus.

What are Javascript packages?

Javascript is a programming language that is widely used across the internet. Many websites, including Google's search functionality as well as most blogs and content management systems depend on javascript to function. In addition to these, it can be used for more advanced application development as well as client-server architecture. This book is meant for beginner-intermediary developers looking to improve their knowledge of Javascript.

What is Nexus?

The Nexus repository is a repository that facilitates the discovery, access and installation of public artifacts. It supports open source dependencies and references them in Maven-compatible package declarations. The most common use is to resolve a target dependency by hashing a file with a specified MD5 sum and using Nexus to look up the artifact in its local cache or available repositories . It is also possible to combine Maven (and other) metadata with an artifact before publication.
