I have a coding challenge where I am required to rebuild a website page. I finished that just using HTML and CSS but my interviewer is giving me these instructions for bonus points but I'm not sure what he wants me to do since I don't have experience in node:

If you use node and I can run it with npm install && npm run. If you go this route, do NOT send the node_modules folder.f you use a preprocessor (i.e. SASS or LESS), please send those along with the compiled version. I should not have to compile your stylesheets.

What does he mean exactly? I'm a beginner to node and I tried googling some information, but don't see where I can learn more about npm install and npm run. Can someone explain in a nutshell what I should do?

In node.js you can install node programs/modules using NPM. NPM is a package manager for node.js.

So what he is trying to tell you, if you install a modules/program in your code from NPM to solve this coding challenge, don't send him the installed modules files. he can know the modules that you installed from the package.json which is the file that give him the information about all the required modules to run the application. Then he can use npm commands to install all the dependencies that are listed in package.json.

The Other point is SASS or LESS which is a dynamic stylesheet techniques to generate your css files. so if you used this techniques just send him the compiled css files.

  • Ahmand, where can I find a step by step tutorial on how to do this? Right now I have my html and css files done, can you list out the steps I would have to do to get this done? – orange_juiceeee Aug 07 '14 at 00:06
