How do I install the video js playlist plug-in? In the example they ask for this file: path/to/videojs-playlist/dist/videojs-playlist.js, but I don't find a dist folder or the .js file. Clues? I have the video.js file. Thanks!

Installing NodeJS
Multiple installers are available on their download page.

Using Npm install
This command installs a package, and any packages that it depends on. It reads the file package.json and installs what ever dependency it requires.
It should install all the files you require to run videojs-playlist
After installing simply execute the following command in your videojs-playlist project folder.
npm install videojs-playlist

I have no experience with git, is there a simple way to do the above with npm?
I'm newbie at development, first, I'm not good at English. I hope your understanding.
TLDR;
I'm making UI library now. for the test of it, I found npm pack command.
It seems like If I enter npm pack once in specific version, then I cannot change the library contents without upgrading version in package.json file.
I wanna modify contents of library and test of it without version upgrade before publish.
is this possible?
ex) my situation
library v0.0.8, I found some problems.
modified contents of library without upgrading version(to v0.0.9)
npm pack
install library at test folder
changes were not reflected in test folder.
package.json -image
I'm making an npm UI library for company.
I was thinking about how to do the test of it, and found "npm pack" command.
I made the pacakage version v0.0.8, and entered the "npm pack" command.
after copy of tgz file, I pasted it to root directory of test folder.
and I downloaded it with yarn add ./library-test-0.0.8 at test folder.
after that, I found some problems of library, so modified those at package files.
but I didn't modified version of pacakage as v0.0.9 in package.json file.
after delete all builded files at dist directory, I entered npm build, npm pack
and I deleted v0.0.8 from my test folder with yarn remove library-test
again, after copy of new tgz file, I pasted it to root directory of test folder.
However, the changes I made were not properly reflected at test folder.
I tried npm cache clean --force, but it didn't work.
also, I tried it in new test folder, but it was same.
folder structure -image at ui-library
folder structure -image at test folder
as you can see above images, types folder should be deleted.
I guess, if I enter 'npm pack' command once, npm memorize that version and does not change.
is there any way to reset this npm's behavior?
I tried modifying version in pacakage.json(by upgrading v0.0.9) at my pacakge, it worked.
but this method will confuse me in the future..
I searched like below.
how to reset npm pack version
npm pack memorize version
npm pack revert
but I couldn't find what I want.
is there anyone who can give me some keywords or sites for this problem?
I have created a css folder in my public folder of my project. Is it handy to npm install bulma-start directly in the css folder? Currently project links to Bulma via CDN link but I want to install it on my local machine so the project can run it locally. Can you please recommend the best procedures for installing all dependancies correctly?
Using bulma-start is bit different as compared to working with other npm packages so here are the steps I've followed to work with bulma-start.
Create another folder say temp.
Initiate npm package there by using npm init
Install bulma-start by using npm install bulma-start.
Copy paste all the files inside the node-modules to wherever you want to work with this project.
Again do npm install to install the dependencies of bulma-start i.e. bulma etc.
Feel free to delete temp.
Is it handy to npm install bulma-start directly in the css folder?
bulma-start is a complete package to start working, this includes the whole js, sass, CSS folders and scripts to start working. So bulma-start should be considered as the parent folder of your project.
Before publishing my node library, I could use the advice the npm documentation wrote about:
To test a local install, go into some other folder, and then do:
cd ../some-other-folder
npm install ../my-package
Prior to version 5 of npm, I had no problem as it produce what I expected, ie a folder with the output of what I will publish.
However, using npm 5, it now creates a symlink to my local project as described in the npm documentation:
npm install :
Install the package in the directory as a symlink in the current
project. Its dependencies will be installed before it's linked. If
sits inside the root of your project, its dependencies may be
hoisted to the toplevel node_modules as they would for other types of
dependencies.
How can I use the "old" way to install local project? Or is there a new way to check if my library is correct?
Thank you.
Use npm pack + npm install (as suggested by install-local package)
npm pack <path-to-local-package>
npm install <package-version.tgz>
This will effectively copy your local package to node_modules.
Note that this will package only production relevant files (those listed in the files section of your package.json). So, you can install it in a test app under the package own directory. Something like this:
my-package
package.json
test
test-app
package.json
node_modules
my-package
Assuming that test dir is not included in the files in my-package/package.json.
This works the same way with npm 5 and older versions.
I wrote npm-install-offline which allows you to install npm packages from a local repository or folder. By default it copies the folder on install but you can also choose to symlink.
https://www.npmjs.com/package/npm-install-offline
npx npm-install-offline ../some-package
Or
npx npm-install-offline my-npm-package --repo ./my-offline-npm
It also will install the package dependencies which npm does not do with local packages.
suppose i am working with asp.net mvc with VS2013 IDE. we can download angular-ui-router js file from any web site and copy that file in script folder of my project and refer those js file in web pages.
so my question is why i should use bower or npm to download js files like below example. please tell me extra advantage of using bower or npm to download js files ?
bower install
$ bower install angular-ui-router
npm install
$ npm install angular-ui-router
thanks
If the library evolves/updates or if the project is moved, those package managers allows to keep up to date with all the needed plugins, without having to look for each one, download the last/needed version of each one, and moving them where you need.
You don't need to use them if you don't need them. As any tool, they are there if you need them.
