Editor to share with you whether npm is node, I believe most people do not know much about it, so share this article for your reference, I hope you can learn a lot after reading this article, let's go to know it!

Include relationship, nodejs contains npm, for example, if you install nodejs, you open cmd and type npm-v, you will find the version number of npm, indicating that npm has been installed.

To quote the great god's summary:

Npm is actually the package manager (package manager) of nodejs. When we develop on Node.js, we will use a lot of javascript code that others have already written.

If whenever we need someone else's code, search according to the name, download the source code, decompress it, and then use it, it will be very troublesome. So the package manager npm appears.

Everyone uploads their own written source code to the npm official website. If you want to use one or some of them, you can install them directly through npm, regardless of where the source code is.

And if we want to use module A, and module A depends on module B, and module B depends on modules C and D, then npm will, according to the dependency,

Download and manage all dependent packages. Imagine how troublesome it would be if we did all this work on our own.
