I am trying to update some npm packages (codemirror in this case), and I am not sure how the app.js file is generated via composer / laravel using npm dependencies without npm actually being installed on my server.

Can someone explain the dist folder and the app.js gets built with npm dependencies but without using npm?

Sorry, I now see that the production app is pushing out a prebuild app.js in the dist folder.
