Novice ask next how to upload js to hardware

Hello @zhou1591 ,
As far as I know you always need a computer to be able execute nodeJS in order to be able to run johnny-five.
It is not code that you can compile and put on Arduino with a battery.
If you want something compact you'll need something like a raspberry pi zero in addition to your Arduino to execute johnny-five.

This requires an on-board linux environment. See the Platform Support page for a list of hardware that will support what you want to do.

I now have a nodemcu, and I want to compile the Jonny-Five file and upload it to nodemcu, can I use some vscode plugins to implement it?

There is no such thing as compiling Johnny-Five files. nodemcu is firmware that runs lua, that is not what you need. As I said, you must use a board listed on the platform support page. These boards run Node.js directly; they are the host instead of your computer being the host.
