# Node.js helpers ## Why? To share the common code we use in our Node.js scripts and products. ## What? Node.js helpers is a public package, yet will always stay alpha version. The idea here is to share common code(DRY) and tasks with extenders of lion, like ing-web. It consists of helpers and utilities, specific to our use cases, and not intended to be general purpose library. > **Example use case:** Assume package-x extends @lion/ui and package-x wants to bypass the requirement of export/import map support. In that case same bypass must be done at @lion/ui side as well. ## How? Don't try to predict and write a utility function, in other words, add utilities if and when needed. Keep the APIs simple, extendable, yet specific to our use cases(KISS), in other words, don't write a generic utility. Put shared tasks between lion and ing-web(extends lion) here.
