Fishrock123 · 2017-12-16T05:55:55Z

I feel like this documentation belongs in the building docs and not in the API docs.

Suixinlei · 2017-12-16T06:42:27Z

Thank you for your advice.Should I close this pr and open the other one? @Fishrock123

joyeecheung · 2017-12-16T07:13:35Z

@Suixinlei You can just move the changes to BUILDING.md, amend the commit and force push to the PR branch, the PR description still applies if you move the changes there so I don't think it's necessary to close this one and open a new PR.

Suixinlei · 2017-12-16T08:05:29Z

@joyeecheung done. I've updated the pr and the commit.

Thank you!
Some tiny fixes:

that core modules -> those core modules.

Node -> Node.js.

@vsemozhetbyt Thanks a lot. I've already update my code.

I think the commit message shouldn't include Fixes since it's just a documentation changing. Maybe we can use Refs instead.

The word "those" here looks a bit unnatural since the core modules are not mentioned before this section, and the fact that they are in the lib/ folder is not entirely relevant here since the internal modules are not exposed to users. I would suggest something simpler like:

It is possible to specify one or more JavaScript text files to be bundled in the binary as builtin modules when building Node.js.

BUILDING.md

+specify one or more JavaScript text files to be bundled in the binary as
+builtin modules.
+
+##### Unix / macOS


We don't really need these many levels here, I think ### is enough.

joyeecheung · 2017-12-18T10:17:33Z

BUILDING.md

+##### Unix / macOS
+
+```console
+$ ./configure --link-module '/root/myModule.js'


Can you add an explanation for this command? Maybe something like To make `/root/myModule.js` available via `require('root/myModule')`:

joyeecheung · 2017-12-18T10:17:56Z

BUILDING.md

+##### Windows
+
+```console
+> .\vcbuild link-module './myModule.js'


Can you add an explanation for this command as well?

joyeecheung · 2017-12-18T10:21:23Z

BTW this does not fix #12516 which was asking about the bundled native modules (addons), not the JS modules.
