Forking and patching npm modules from a monorepo

Commonly, npm modules are source controlled using a single dedicated repo for each module. When forking and patching such an existing npm module, typical approaches are either:

• reference a specific git commit in your forked repo

    "dependencies": {
        "patchedmodule": "git+https://github.com/myuser/patchedmodule.git#mypatch"
    }

• reference a downloadable tarball containing the same, as described in this post on {debuggable}

In this tutorial we're going to build a set of parser combinators.

What is a parser combinator?

We'll answer the above question in 2 steps.

1. What is a parser?
2. and, what is a parser combinator?

So first question: What is parser?
