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.
