In uibuilders node on library page i can install node modules with specified version.  
Can i also install differnt versions of a module in that way as it is possible with npm direct ?

```auto
npm install jquery2@npm:jquery@2
npm install jquery3@npm:jquery@3

```

Reason: i'm using vue2 with bootstrap-vue, but want to use vue3 with other framwork.  
And there for want to test vue3 while break the pages already using vue2 with bootstrap vue.

kind regards

I was not aware that you could do that with npm! 🙂

That should work with the library manager since it is simply a front-end for npm and ensures that libraries are installed in the correct location.

Ha! Well what do you know - it DOES work 😁

And it even sorts out the URL for you.

All you need to do is to enter `jquery2@npm:jquery@2` into the input. You can, in fact, use any valid npm install string in that field (the 2nd field is actually redundant and I really should remove it).

I learned something new. Thanks for raising.

Thank **you** ,  
i did not expect that the solution was that simple, so we both learned.

This is the advantage of doing my best to make UIBUILDER a progressive enhancement of native capabilities rather than using additional libraries and frameworks. 🕶
