What is the @ used for while installing node modules?

I noticed that while trying to install redux-offline, the documentation says to install the package using :
npm install --save @redux-offline/redux-offline

While this article says to install the package without the '@' before package name
npm install --save redux-offline

I wanted to know what the difference is between both, if any.

Solution

  • @redux-offline/redux-offline here you can read this quote

    Redux Offline is now being maintained by a community-driven team. The new versions of the library will now be available under the npm organization @redux-offline. Big thank you to @jevakallio for creating this amazing library in the first place.

    As you can see here redux-offline, this package updated 3 years ago, when @redux-offline/redux-offline updated 3 months ago.

    If you want to use this lib, use @redux-offline/redux-offline as this package is updating with the community.
