I was going through discourse code, and comparing it with standard emberjs projects.
Discourse uses version 2.13 of emberjs.
The emberjs directory structure includes node_modules folder.
But the front end part of discourse project does not have any node_modules folder. So discourse does not use any module from npm?
As per my understanding, instead of using npm JS dependencies are directly placed in vendor directory.
oh ok. Thanks for answer. Do you know what is the reasoning behind the decision of using vendor folder and not node_modules?
Probably because that’s where all the other vendored code already lived, so it seemed wasteful to create yet another top-level directory.
@eviltrout and I have a long term plan to shift js dependency management to yarn or npm but for the time being dependencies are handled manually
