In the last section of the course, we discussed modules and we learned how we were able to import code from one javascript file into another one so that we could use it for that specific program.

This section of the course is going to be all about packages. Now packages when we are talking about them in reference to JavaScript development, typically are referring to code packages and these are some groupings of code files typically of JavaScript code files that you can use to add additional functionality to whatever type of application or program that you're building.

In this guide, we're going to extend our knowledge on the packages in JavaScript by actually integrating one into a project.

Now that we have the momentjs library installed on our system, we can start using it.

This is going to be a very exciting lesson and it is also going to be quite a bit longer than most of the guides that we typically go through and it's because we're going to build out a full NPM package. Everything from building it right from scratch all the way through deploying it to the NPM registry.
