The Dependency Dilemma:

Before diving into coding, you need a way to handle external libraries and frameworks. Enter the dependency managers: npm, Yarn, pnpm, and Bun. Each has its strengths:

  • npm: The OG with a vast ecosystem.
  • Yarn: Speedy and reliable, focusing on lockfiles.
  • pnpm: Flat dependency structure, faster installations.
  • Bun: A newcomer, aiming for speed and efficiency.

Choosing Your Hero:

React, Next.js, Nuxt.js: Frontend frameworks galore! Let's see how each dependency manager interacts:

Frontend Example:

# Using npm: 
npm init -y 
npm install react react-dom 
# Using Yarn: 
yarn init -y 
yarn add react react-dom 
# Using pnpm: 
pnpm init -y 
pnpm add react react-dom 
# Using Bun: 
bun install react react-dom

Remember, each manager has its syntax and preferences. Check their documentation for details.

Backend Brawlers:

Express.js, a popular backend framework, also plays nicely with all contenders:

Backend Example:


# Using npm:
npm install express

# Using Yarn:
yarn add express

# Using pnpm:
pnpm add express

# Using Bun:
bun install express

Now you can code your frontend and backend logic, but deployments await!
