The process module is essentially a package that provides information for node.js and browser-related functions. This module is not meant to serve as a comprehensive alternative to built-in process modules. It predominantly exists to deliver the nextTick functionality. This package is kept lean intentionally as it often gets included by tools like Browserify when a module has used the process
global. The module also includes a process.browser
member which is true in the browser context but undefined in node.js, assisting in creating isomorphic code that fine-tunes its behavior depending on the running environment.
To use the process module in your application, you simply require it like any other module by using require('process')
. If you want to provide other process methods, the recommended way is to monkey patch them onto the process global in your app. Here's an example of how you can use this package:
var process = require('process');
// Use nextTick functionality
process.nextTick(function () {
console.log('Task completed');
});
// Check if the code is running in a browser
if (process.browser) {
console.log('Running in a browser');
} else {
console.log('Not running in a browser');
}
Unfortunately, the readme doesn't explicitly provide any link to the process package's documentation. You may want to check the code repository at git://github.com/shtylman/node-process.git to see if further documentation is available within the code or other files in the repository. If you're looking for standard node.js process
documentation, that is available on the official Node.js website at https://nodejs.org/api/process.html. However, as mentioned, this module is not equivalent to the built-in node.js process
module entirely.
