Node.js Standards (for the enterprise) we should all try to agree on.

node-standards-v4.md

Some NodeJs (v4.x) choices we can all agree on?

• Versioning: npm version patch|minor|major uses semver and so should we.
• Node.js version mgmt: .nvm file via https://github.com/creationix/nvm
• ENV vars: .env file (see: dotenv)
• Dependency locking: npm shrinkwrap (so we don't have to commit ./NODE_MODULES)
• Logging: winston
• Code style + linting: js-standard
• Security scanning: Snyk
• Build system: Gulp
