Packages

Every krantho package on npm, what it is for, and which ones a site installs.

Beginner

Krantho is published to npm as one package per concern. They share one version and are released together, so a site keeps every @krantho/* package on the same version. Most sites install one bundle for their framework and the few packages their own code imports; Installation shows the commands.
