There are three main types of Node modules that you will work with as a Node.js developer. They include the following.

Built-in modules
Local modules
Third-party modules

• Built-in Modules

Node.js comes with some modules out of the box. These modules are available for use when you install Node.js. Some common examples of built-in Node modules are the following:

http
url
path
fs
os

• Local Modules

When you work with Node.js, you create local modules that you load and use in your program.

• Third-Party Modules

A cool thing about using modules in Node.js is that you can share them with others. The Node Package Manager (NPM) makes that possible.
