Even though I have used so many external libraries, I feel like I’m always fumbling through the download/install process and decision making. Can someone check my understanding of the different ways to incorporate an external JS library into my own JS project?
Option 1 - Download the min
file to project folder and reference it in the index.html
page within <script>
tags.
OR
Option 2 - install via npm
(which has to already have been installed via the node.js
install process) or other package bundler (like yarn
??)
Is that it…? What are the caveats and/or best practices around deciding which one to use?
Thanks!
