Question

I would like to create a module for nodejs that can be used standalone. The module source is literally just JavaScript files that are executed using nodejs.

I am not sure exactly how this would work, but essentially:

npm install mymodule

node mymodule inputfile

or better

mymodule inputfile

How would this work?

Answer 1

There’s an excellent guide for writing modules on how to node.

Jade is a great example of executable module.
