✨ Yarn 4.0 is Out Now

Yarn 4.0 is Here: What's New for You!

Hello Guys, My Name is Md Taqui Imam, Today, we've got some exciting news for you. Yarn 4.0 has just hit the scene, and it's bringing some cool new stuff with it. So, let's break it down in a way that's super easy to understand.

Follow me in Github

Let's Begin 👇

1. Node.js 18+:
If you're already using Yarn or thinking about giving it a try, you need to know that it now requires Node.js version 18 or higher. This means your projects will need to run on the latest Node.js.

2. Zero-Install Changes:
When you create new projects with yarn init, they won't use Zero-Install by default anymore. Also, Yarn now uses something called Corepack, which is a tool that helps manage different package manager versions for your projects. It's all about making things simpler for you.

3. All Official Plugins Included:
The official plugins like TypeScript and interactive tools are now included by default. You won't have to worry about adding them separately.

4. Hardened Mode:
Yarn now has a Hardened Mode to protect your projects from sneaky attacks. This mode checks that the package information in your project matches with the remote registry. It's like having an extra layer of security for your projects.

5. JavaScript Constraints:
Yarn 4.0 introduces a new JavaScript-based engine for constraints. It's a fancy way of making sure your project follows certain rules. You can use these rules to keep your project organized and error-free.

6. TypeScript Integration and More:
Now, you can use TypeScript more easily, and you won't need to worry about managing plugins separately. Everything you need is included in the main distribution.

7. Improved User Interface:
The user interface has gotten a makeover. You'll get more helpful information, and there won't be as many confusing warnings. It's all about making your experience smoother.

8. Performance Boost:
Yarn 4.0 is faster than ever before. It can install your packages much quicker, thanks to a new package metadata cache. Your projects will run like lightning!

9. Fancy Website:
If you've visited Yarn's website, you'll notice it's had a facelift. Now it's easier to find what you need, with links to documentation and tooltips explaining options.

10. The Future of Yarn:
The Yarn team is always thinking about what's next. They might even look into making Yarn even faster in the future. But don't worry, they won't make big changes that make things harder for you.

So, there you have it, Yarn 4.0 in a nutshell. It's all about making your coding projects easier and more secure. Whether you're just starting or already a pro, Yarn 4.0 is here to help you on your coding adventures. Have fun exploring all the new features, and happy coding! 🚀✨
