Modern JavaScript is all about dependencies. With over 1.5m packages on NPM, and 5114 packages used in "Create React App", the package ecosystem can feel overwhelming. But underneath the complexity are basic rules that give structure to our projects.
In this talk, I'll unpack the key concepts that hold the NPM ecosystem together. We'll explore the different types of dependencies, semantic versioning, node's module resolution algorithm, and how all these work together to give you package management superpowers like linking, de-duping, and setting up multi-package workspaces.
By mastering the fundamental concepts underpinning NPM we can make the most of JavaScript's incredible package ecosystem.
