How many people use alpinejs?
npm counted 920,154 downloads of alpinejs in the last 7 days. Nobody can count people exactly, npm included: it does not record who downloaded what. After removing mirror spikes and crawlers, about 918K–920K look like real installs. Noise is under 1% of npm's count. What remains still includes CI and installs as a dependency of other packages.
Is alpinejs still maintained?
Most likely yes, going by its releases. The latest version, 3.17.5, came out on Oct 20, 2026. The last 12 months saw 21 stable releases, typically 7 days apart. It was first published on Dec 18, 2019. npm lists 1 maintainer.
Is alpinejs still used?
Downloads with publish spikes removed are up 35% over 3 months and up 152% over 11 months. For scale, the median of the 269 packages we track, which lean towards today's most downloaded, is up 157% over 11 months, so this one is about level with that. Last week, 97% of downloads above the crawler floor were on major version 3, the latest one; the most used single version was 3.15.12, with 18%. Weekdays get 1.4× the downloads of weekends, which fits people at work, though CI follows the same rhythm. Crawlers account for about 795 downloads a week, roughly 5 per version.
How the estimate works
- Cut the spike every new version gets from mirrors in its first days.
- Subtract the flat floor robots download from every version each week.
- Show what is left as a range, with a confidence level. It still includes CI and dependency installs, so it is not a count of people.
