• Chokidar: This is the file-watching library that helps to create a better experience by watching for changes to the application files and performing steps, such as restarting the development server.
• @inquirer and yargs: These libraries allow us to create the componium command-line tool. Inquirer can create interactive terminal interfaces, useful for Componium development commands, such as componium create. Yargs helps us work with command-line commands, flags, and options...
