Great question! A package manager is a tool that automates the process of installing, upgrading, configuring, and removing a software, or in this case, inside our app.īut what does that really mean? Let's suppose you need to handle network requests inside your app, but you don't want to reinvent the wheel.
That doesn’t sound like fun, does it? Well, you’re in luck! By using a package manager, you can easily make sure that your code is always up to date. You might be asking yourself, “Can’t I just copy the source code inside my app project and use that?” Yes, you can, but what will you do if a critical update comes up? You will need to manually follow the repository release updates and keep checking for new versions.
