how is the dependency list built (from config file, package.json, function node imports?)
CommonJS vs ES6 modules, can we use either?
how to purge an old dependency
delete any reference will stop it from being loaded, but remains installed unless you clean out node_modules?
it is safe to delete node_modules?
how to specify a new dependency including version (precise syntax), or does it every time always try to get the latest?
Can we edit package.json? Or is that always generated? Must changes be in .config.modules.json,?
And hints as well, on how to make a module available globally in all function nodes. This seems the best approach, but it took me quite awhile to figure it out. Other people may also be as dense as I am:
create a function node that runs on startup that imports a module
the code within the function node then adds it to global
Problem/Motivation
Clarify lifecycle of modules in documentation
Proposed changes
