this is how my json looks like
{
// Aca definiremos nuestro package.json, lo primero es el nombre
"name": "curso",
// Luego la version del mismo
"version": "0.0.1",
// Ahora las dependencias, normalmente podrias hacer esto con npm pero es mucho mejor tener claro y ejecutar estricatemente las necesaria
"dependencies": {
// Express el cual se encargara de ser nuestro framework en node
"express": "",
//los tipos de vista, jade parecido al que usa ruby on rails y swig parecido al que usa django
"jade": "",
"swig": "",
// El que se encargara de renderizar los templates en un contexto
"consolidate": "",
// y por ultimo el encargado de manejar los sockets :)
"socket.io": ""
}
}
