Update: This post is based on using Yarn 1. A major update Yarn 2 has been released. I use Yarn 1.x.

living in a country with expensive internet data, I feel like Yarn was made for me🙂.
Say for example, I forgot that I have a package installed, trying to reinstall with yarn will exit with it telling me it's been installed, also, if I had a network error while installing packages, it doesn't reinstall all the packages, it installs the specific one needed, I could go on and on about this. But the BOC is Yarn >>>>>>>>>> NPM😁
Hello-world in gatsby is a quarter of a gigabyte. I understand that having to download that again on a metered connection would be annoying, but I think the bigger problem is that HELLO WORLD IS A QUARTER OF A GIGABYTE.
WHAT?! WHY???!!
node_moduleswhat I can't quite figure out is why don't node_modules work like python modules, just download what is needed. no more
Partly I think the problem is that when things go wrong, the recommended solution for most problems is to delete
node_modulesand run setup again.It's the old "have you tried turning it off and on again?" solution.
Maybe you'd like to try
pnpm, then. It's big advantage is that it only ever keeps one copy of each package in your computer. So if you're using dependencies that you already use in other projects, you don't need to download them again.Good point. Worth trying.
I used verdaccio for awhile. It proxies npm registry with a cache.. I was able to run
npx create-react-appwithout an internet connection. I never figured out how to avoid writing localhost urls in my lockfile though.maybe it could be in the docs?
Its a shame, because npm is just as fast as yarn nowadays. ;)
good thoughts about yarn, have your tried pnpm?
Not yet. Have you?
Yeap, it's really cool only that in some vue projects it breaks HMR due to the symlink
I use yarn because project doesn't show bugs :V
Personally, I prefer use pnpm :)
