Best method for including dependancies like jQuery?

[nitaic]

What is the recommended method to including dependances like jQuery or Boostrap?

Do I add them to the package.json file then reference them in the node_modules directory?

I think this is the way, installing them via NPM so they get added to package.json and then import them in the theme.js

There are several methods I usually install via npm and add to the top of my theme.js file:

import jquery from 'jquery';
window.$ = window.jQuery = $
