cron: Schedule jobs (cron jobs) to run at specific times, which can be useful for tasks like cleaning up old data, sending regular notifications, or updating bot commands
dotenv: Already included, but it's worth mentioning again as it's essential for managing environment variables which store sensitive information like API keys and database credentials
winston: For logging purposes, winston is a versatile logging library that can log to multiple transports (console, file, etc.) and offers different levels of logging
bcrypt: For password hashing, if your bot needs to authenticate users or store passwords securely
passport: For implementing authentication strategies, like OAuth with Twitch or local strategy if you have a login system
socket.io: If you haven't already, socket.io can be used for real-time bi-directional event-based communication, perfect for a chatbot interacting with users in real-time
mongoose-sequence: An extension for mongoose that generates auto-incrementing numbers for your documents, useful for creating unique identifiers
validator: For validating and sanitizing strings, which can be crucial for input validation before saving data to the database
joi: Another powerful schema description language and data validator for JavaScript, which can be used for complex data validation scenarios
redux: For state management in your React application, especially if you need to share state across multiple components or persist state across page refreshes
react-redux: Bindings for integrating Redux with React, which makes it easier to connect your Redux store to your React components
redux-thunk: Middleware for Redux that allows you to write action creators that return a function instead of an action, enabling asynchronous behavior like API calls
formik: Simplifies form handling in React by providing validation and error handling out of the box
yup: A JavaScript schema builder for value parsing and validation, often used alongside Formik for form validation
date-fns: A modern JavaScript date utility library for parsing, formatting, manipulating, and comparing dates
history: A JavaScript history library that lets you manage session history, navigate, confirm navigation, and persist state between sessions
query-string: A small library to parse and stringify URL query strings, useful for reading and writing complex query parameters
