Auto install npm dependencies as you code

In plain words

This development tool automatically installs npm dependencies as developers code, eliminating the need for manual package management. Launched in 2016, it's designed for JavaScript developers working with Node.js projects who want to streamline their workflow. The tool reduces friction by detecting required packages and installing them in the background, allowing developers to focus on writing code rather than managing dependencies.
