node.js - JavaScript dependency management: npm vs. bower vs. volo




How do you compare npm, bower and volo?



All three can be used to install JavaScript dependencies for a UI project.

I understand npm is more node specific.



So, when to use what?



npm still stands distant, but bower and volo seem to be solving exactly the same problem, although I am not able to draw a line between npm and bower-volo.


Answer



A description that best describes the difference between npm and bower is: npm manages JavaScript modules called packages and Bower manages front-end components (i.e. css, html, and JavaScript) called components. npm is also used to install bower. Here is an expansive article on npm and bower (does not cover volo) it goes into plenty of detail.
