# Frontend dependencies
## Package manager
We use [Yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/) to manage frontend dependencies. There are a few exceptions, stored in `vendor/assets/`.
## Updating dependencies
### Renovate GitLab Bot
We use the [Renovate GitLab Bot](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/frontend/renovate-gitlab-bot) to
automatically create merge requests for updating dependencies of several projects. You can find the
up-to-date list of projects managed by the renovate bot in the project’s README. Some key dependencies
updated using renovate are:
- [`@gitlab/ui`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ui)
- [`@gitlab/svgs`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-svgs)
- [`@gitlab/eslint-plugin`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/frontend/eslint-plugin)
### Blocked dependencies
We discourage installing some dependencies in [GitLab repository](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab)
because they can create conflicts in the dependency tree. Blocked dependencies are declared in the
`blockDependencies` property of the GitLab [`package.json` file](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/package.json).
## Dependency notes
### BootstrapVue
[BootstrapVue](https://bootstrap-vue.org/) is a component library built with Vue.js and Bootstrap.
We wrap BootstrapVue components in [GitLab UI](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ui/) with the
purpose of applying visual styles and usage guidelines specified in the
[Pajamas Design System](https://design.gitlab.com/). For this reason, we recommend not installing
BootstrapVue directly in the GitLab repository. Instead create a wrapper of the BootstrapVue
component you want to use in GitLab UI first.
