Abstract
Node.js has a default package manager called Node Package Manager (NPM). There exists a command line client, called NPM, and an online database of public and paid-for private packages, known as the NPM registry. The registry is accessed via the user, and the available packages can be browsed and searched through the NPM Web site. Given a new project description, it is crucial to determine the most favorable NPM packages that can be used for the overall success of the project because of the reusable nature of these packages for rapid development. Though the hurdle faced by most of the developers is to select the right one from the vastly present number of NPM packages. Thus, to solve this issue, we propose a method called NPMREC known as NPM package and Similar Projects Recommendation System. It takes a project description as an input and gives a ranked list of NPM packages as the output that can then be used to implement the project with better efficiency. We used custom-built datasets for our approach using libraries.io Web site. The training dataset contains two datasets, firstly, the past project dataset with 589 NPM projects/NPM modules with information about their dependencies/NPM packages; secondly, the NPM package dataset with 759 NPM packages containing the detailed information about the dependencies of these 589 NPM projects/NPM modules. The test dataset contains 105 NPM projects/NPM modules along with information about their dependencies.
