How to use npm plugin?

Question

JavaScript

I have such a question, if I install this plugin in npm https://chmln.github.io/flatpickr/getting-started/ then how can I use it in the project. More precisely, how should I call it at all if I do not have webpack. I only use cdn but don't want to call cdn all the time in my code. Or does npm need webpack?

Answer 1

Well, sometimes you can just write

<script src="./node_modules/plugin/index.js"></script>

, but not the fact that it will burn out with this particular package. Plus, there are still reasons why people stop including scripts manually and use webpack.
If you don't want webpack, you can try rollup, browserify and/or gulp. Although at the moment the easiest way to find help is on webpack.
