Dependency

This project uses the following modules as dependency

• @lasso/marko-taglib
  • The Lasso.js includes a taglib for Marko for easily injecting <script> and tags into a page, as well as resource URLs for images and other types of front-end resources.
• compression
  • The Nodejs compression middleware for compressing server responses.
• cookie-parser
  • Parse Cookie header and populate req.cookies with an object keyed by the cookie names. Optionally you may enable signed cookie support by passing a secret string, which assigns req.secret so it may be used by other middleware.
• debug
  • A tiny JavaScript debugging utility modelled after Node.js core's debugging technique. Works in Node.js and web browsers.
• express
  • Fast, unopinionated, minimalist web framework for node.
• http-errors
  • Create HTTP errors for Express, Koa, Connect, etc. with ease.
• lasso
  • Lasso.js is an eBay open source Node.js-style JavaScript module bundler that also provides first-level support for optimally delivering JavaScript, CSS, images and other assets to the browser. This tool offers many different optimizations such as a bundling, code splitting, lazy loading, conditional dependencies, compression and fingerprinted resource URLs. Plugins are provided to support pre-processors and compilers such as Less, Stylus and Marko. This developer-friendly tool does not require that you change the way that you already code and can easily be adopted by existing applications.
• lasso-babel-transform
  • Lasso.js transform that uses Babel to transpile ES6 code to ES5.
• lasso-marko
  • Plugin for the Lasso.js to support compilation and transport of Marko template files. Templates are compiled using the Marko compiler that produces a CommonJS module as output.
• marko
  • Marko is an isomorphic UI library built in JavaScript.
• pino
  • Extremely fast node.js logger, inspired by Bunyan. It also includes a shell utility to pretty-print its log files.
• babel-preset-env
  • The move makes it much easier to release and develop in sync with the rest of Babel!
