NodeJs Package Manager

As its name clearly states, NodeJs Package Manager is a useful piece of software that aims to simplify your work with both npm or Bower packages.

In short, with the help of this npm and Bower package organizer/manager, you can get a clear view of all your global packages installed on your workstation, view the contents of any package.json or bower.json file, check for updates for any existing package, upgrade or downgrade packages (to specified versions), as well as install new or uninstall already existing ones.

The utility provides you with a straightforward way of accessing the README files, as well as access other, adjacent sections like Contributors, Dependencies, and DevDependencies of various packages. Last but not least, the app also provides you with the possibility of creating new npm and Bower JSON files in mere seconds via its intuitive menu-form.

And it's pretty much as novice-accessible as you can imagine. Once you undergo the typical installation procedure, you're greeted by the app's modern-looking, black-themed main window (it's well worth pointing out that there's also a Light theme available).

The layout is a fairly simple one, with the file manager on the left, the package manager in the middle and the actual package explorer on the right side. You can switch between two modes (NodeJS Package Manager and Bower Manager) from the toolbar located on the left side. To open files or create new npm and bower package, simply click the three-doted button from the upper part of the first panel.

To conclude, NodeJs Package Manager is definitely a must-have for any web developer that works with multiple npm and Bower packages on a daily basis, as it provides an intuitive solution for organizing and managing the packages mentioned above, without having to resort to other, uncomfortable and a lot less user-friendly, command line-based tools.
