Overview

NPM is a package manager for JavaScript that makes it easy to share and reuse code.

Through Glassix functions, you can import and use node third-party libraries inside your code. This helps reduce the need to write code.

Limitations

1. You can add up to 5 NPM packages per function.
2. Your entire function's size (including code and packages) can't be more than 50MB (compressed)
