Frontend dependencies
Package manager
We use Yarn to manage frontend dependencies. There are a few exceptions, stored in vendor/assets/.
Updating dependencies
Renovate GitLab Bot
We use the Renovate GitLab Bot to automatically create merge requests for updating dependencies of several projects. You can find the up-to-date list of projects managed by the renovate bot in the project’s README. Some key dependencies updated using renovate are:
Blocked dependencies
We discourage installing some dependencies in GitLab repository
because they can create conflicts in the dependency tree. Blocked dependencies are declared in the
blockDependencies property of the GitLab package.json file.
Dependency notes
BootstrapVue
BootstrapVue is a component library built with Vue.js and Bootstrap. We wrap BootstrapVue components in GitLab UI with the purpose of applying visual styles and usage guidelines specified in the Pajamas Design System. For this reason, we recommend not installing BootstrapVue directly in the GitLab repository. Instead create a wrapper of the BootstrapVue component you want to use in GitLab UI first.
