npm? Really? That seems weird.

  npm is actually a great tool to get dependencies of all kinds, not just JavaScript files.

    Isn't that what bower is for?
    • milkytoast 12y ago
      Sure - but a ton of people are swapping over to things like Browserify, which use NPM as the package manager even on the front end.

      Yes. npm should be node dependencies and bower is library/framework dependencies.
      • sehr 12y ago
        No. NPM is used all the time for front end specific dependencies. Even angular uses it now
        • thoughtpalette 12y ago
          Oh, good to know. I'll look into the reasoning for that.
