How would composer work on hosting providers (who provide Cpanel or FTP)
based site management?

You mentioned npm, are you guy’s touching frontend and

I wanted to check how npm dependencies and sub-dependencies are handled for
comparison.
Where some night-mares was cited due to version different in
child-dependencies. Hope such are not the
case with composer - but wanted to still check.

Prasad
