Libman - How to install dependencies of installed library

Question

I am using Libman - Asp Core - VsCode

I Installed Semantic-ui which needs jQuery,Popper and etc.

Is there a way that Libman install it's dependencies automatically while installing a library ?

Like what npm does.

Answer 1

If libman.json has the dependencies listed but they aren't in the lib folder, one solution is to right click the project -> add -> Client Side Library and then add a library already listed in libman.json. This will add all libraries from libman.json. It will create a new entry in libman.json which can then be removed. Not ideal, not pretty, but it works.

Answer 2

No. Libman does not track dependencies, it is not a package manager. It provides a simplified experience for placing deployment-ready libraries into your project. For a full package manager feature set, you should use a proper package manager like NPM.
