vlt Debuts New JavaScript Package Manager and Serverless Registry at NodeConf EU
vlt introduced its new package manager and a serverless registry this week, innovating in a space where npm has stagnated.
VM for BaseT project.
DISCLAIMER: it was a fork of vm2 package for internal use in baset with some functionality that is missing in original project.
After major overwrite of this module - it's only responsibility is running code in separate
node.js
context within same proccess, so host isn't required to serialize/deserialize data from it's children. But unlike originalvm2
package it's not designed for running untrusted code - normal code won't affect host's environment in most cases but there are NO PROGRAM RESTRICTIONS to do it, so if you know how this context is built and which parts are actually shared between host and child you are able to affect host from child. Such decision is made, because securing host makes vm much slower, which is ok for running untrusted code, but huge overkill for running tests.
If, for some reason, you're interested in
vm2
replacement (as I was). Create an issue in this repo - and I'll do my best to make this packageproduction-ready
