How?

This list is created by consuming the entire npm registry using package-stream, collecting all packages that depend (or devDepend) on nan, node-pre-gyp, prebuild, or prebuildify. Then average daily downloads and direct dependents counts are added to the collected packages so they can be sorted by popularity.

Lists

• top dependents of nan by dependent count
