Using npm to install dependenciesExecute command npm install . This command would read package. json and install dependencies jquery and bootstrap. A new directory called node_modules should have been created and directories jquery and bootstrap should have been created inside node_modules .
If you simply want to test out some NPM modules right inside your browser without setting up an entire app, you can use Browserify in three simple steps to use NPM modules.
Use require() on client side It is possible to use require() on the client browser side. For example: var myClass = require('./js/myclass. js');
If you want to use npm on the client you may consider using browserify which is designed for that purpose. The node module system is not compatible with browsers so browserify transpiles the javascript into something that will work. Hence the name : browserify.
