Why you need Library Manager on your website

The installation of library managers such as Composer for PHP or npm (for JavaScript) on websites is not a luxury for many software developers, but an absolute must.

Without a library manager, version management of external components quickly becomes a real gauntlet. This not only entails the risk of having to work with outdated versions for years, but also annoys users who always expect the latest features and updates.

What is the problem without Library Manager?

Without Library Manager, you lack centralized management for external libraries and dependencies. This makes it extremely difficult to keep track of current versions. You can update manually, but this is not only tedious, but also prone to errors. The larger your project, the more this becomes an unmanageable effort.

Intellisense: programming support made easy

Installing third-party components and Intellisense mechanisms also becomes a challenge without a Library Manager. Intellisense is indispensable for every developer, as it makes programming much easier. Without the right Intellisense mechanisms, there is no auto-completion, no function suggestions and no syntax hints in Visual Studio Code or other development environments. With a well-installed Library Manager, however, these problems are a thing of the past.

Conclusion: The solution

With a Library Manager, you not only ensure that your dependencies are managed cleanly, but also make working with Intellisense and external components much easier.

Your workflow becomes smoother, the risk of errors is minimized and your users' satisfaction is maximized.

So: no more excuses - install the correct Library Manager on your website
