"Just npm install it"

5/5

What do you like best about npm?

The packages and the constant growing community that creates them. Having a great active community not only helps you as a software developer, but it also helps the platform and the products you build. Since most of the packages hosted with npm are open source you can look at how they are implemented and check weather they are the best tool to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about npm?

I never had any downsides. I have used only two package mangers, NuGet for the .Net framework and NPM for web development. Can't say that I had problems with them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering npm:

Great package manager that keeps track of your dependencies. And It has a large library of packages that can be used to ease the build of a project, or publish one. As a developer you can quickly search and download whatever you need to build your product. As a publisher you can sell and advertise your packages and products to a large audience and maybe even get help, support and money while doing it from the people that use your product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is npm solving and how is that benefiting you?

Keep track of multiple dependencies that a project needs to run. Ability to download specific versions of packages. I remember that you have the built in audit tools and it can help you keep track of packages that are prone to vulnerabilities. We discovered once some packages and had to update the libraries and the pages that were used because of security concerns. So it can prevent hackers and other malicious users to damage your product and with it your reputation and brand. Definitely a very useful feature to have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"npm - Rapid growing community "

4/5

What do you like best about npm?

npm is like the best management system for JavaScript. First of all, it is open source which means you don't have to spend any money to use it and you can easily contribute to the community as well. Talking about community, there is a really impressive community out there for npm which means that you can easily find relevant answers to your problems, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about npm?

The only thing that I dislike is the level of access that people can have on certain packages available on npm. Since, the packages that are built on npm are open source, so any developer can get the rights to the particular GitHub repo and push to the repo. Now I know that most of you will think that we have certain ways to ensure that things are right on GitHub but not if you are owner of the repo. Recently, a hack happened due to a certain package (Google it..) sending out malicious scripts on every install cause the owner of the repo passed the ownership rights to some developer to maintain it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering npm:

Everything is great with npm's community but just to check how much the package is secure, I would recommend checking the GitHub repo and checking the recent commits,. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is npm solving and how is that benefiting you?

Since it is the best module manager for JavaScript, it is very easy to install the dependencies and get cracking on your code. The biggest benefit is that not only it saves time but it is very cost effective, since it is open source. And it is relatively very easy to implement it and teach others how to use it.

"Adding new Packages to your Project Seamlessly "

4/5

What do you like best about npm?

I love that NPM runs on Nodejs, so you can use it to add new libraries and packaged directly to your project without having to manually add it in. You can also import the packages into any components you need by using the es6 import command. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about npm?

I dislike that you can't build certain projects if some of your packages are outdated. This will cause an error telling you to update them manually. And chances are those 'new' packages just don't exist. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering npm:

If you are going the old fashion route of downloading your libraries and manually adding them into the headers of your pages, you are lasting time and money. NPM allows you to handle all of this with just a few strokes of your keyboard. It takes less than 30 mins to master and will save you countless hours and headaches! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is npm solving and how is that benefiting you?

With NPM we are able to add and keep track off all the libraries we use on Large-scale projects. This allows us to use code that is readily available instead of attempting to reinvent the wheel. Really speeds up the development process if a problem you are having already has a solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Using NPM for Salesforce Web components Training"

4.5/5

What do you like best about npm?

As a newcomer to npm and node.js, I found npm fairly easy to install and get up and running. I am not a developer by trade and have limited experience with command prompt functions. The npm documentation, combined with the wealth of info online was very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about npm?

While there was much information available, I would like to have found more documentation geared for the limited user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"npm review"

5/5

It's really good Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is npm solving and how is that benefiting you?

With NPM we are able to include other code into our projects that may have already solved an issue we come across, whether if it's a small issue or importing an entire framework within our project. NPM has made our development life easy! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"This is THE registry for js and ts libraries"

4.5/5

What do you like best about npm?

I am using NPM with privates packages and scopes, and also I used to use as public. Sometime ago I used artifactory, myget, verdaccio, etc as registry, but the best thing of NPM is the straightforward integration with developer tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about npm?

The npm dashboard for private orgs/packages, there is no way to remove a package (specific version) from the UI. Integration with slack is not straightforward (I would like to have some custom notification after a packages is released). Finally the price per user is too high. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering npm:

I highly recommend to try NPM for privates organisations and packages, the setup is easy. Keep an eye on how you manage users, since this how the costs goes up.

Use tokens with different privileges for tools like CircleCI, jenkis, travis... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is npm solving and how is that benefiting you?

Since I have been working with NPM (other registries and clients) for so many years, the best benefit is the seamless integration with dev tools. No hacks to make it work. The main problem solved with a NPM is to have a private registry for JS packages/apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
