Have you already tried the Microsoft Library Manager?

Posted: (EET/GMT+2)

 

NuGet has been Visual Studio's main package manager for many years, but as you might have noticed especially in the web development space, client-side libraries are not well-managed with NuGet. This includes many JavaScript and NPM related packages.

To help with this management task inside Visual Studio, Microsoft has developed its own package manager for these client-side libraries, called the Microsoft Library Manager (MLM), which can "install and consume 3rd-party client-side libraries with ease.". It is available on GitHub.

The configuration for Library Manager is optionally stored in a file called "libman.json" inside your project folders. Also, keep in mind that the Library Manager is aimed at managing your client-side (think JavaScript) libraries and files. It is not meant to replace NuGet for backend (think C#) related packages.

Hope this helps!
