Full Definition

Package managers (npm, pnpm, yarn) download and manage third-party libraries (packages) your project depends on. They read package.json, download the right versions, and store them in node_modules. The lock file (package-lock.json or pnpm-lock.yaml) ensures every developer and CI system installs identical versions.
مديرو الحزم يُنزِّلون ويديرون المكتبات الخارجية التي يعتمد عليها مشروعك. يقرؤون package.json ويُنزِّلون الإصدارات الصحيحة.

Example Usage
