Semenjak Yarn muncul gue jarang banget pakai NPM sebagai package manager di ekosistem Node. Di tahun 2022 ini gue nyobain pakai NPM dan ternyata pengalamannya masih cukup lambat dibanding Yarn. Klo diperhatiin, banyak OSS yang pakai Yarn atau PNPM. Sayangnya, Yarn v2 kurang enak pada saat gue coba. Banyak breaking changes nya.

Kenapa pnpm?

Faster

Dibandingkan dengan npm, pnpm jauh lebih cepat dan lebih efisien. Mereka punya detail benchmarknya di sini

Clear Message

Outdated packages

I'm trying out pnpm (a fast, powerful replacement for npm).

It clearly tells me if I'm using a deprecated package, or if a newer major version is available. 👍

Error message

Untuk error message juga lebih enak pnpm dibanding npm. Misalnya error 401 lebih jelas pnpm outputnya. Di pnpm juga ada warning message klo peerDeps yang perlu diinstall.

Widely used in OSS

I’m hopeful that @npmjs will get its act together quickly, but in the meantime, @pnpmjs is the (monorepo) package manager I now recommend to all @turborepo customers.

- faster installs
- yarn-like resolutions
- expressive filtering
- workspace-specific/sparse installs

The Svelte team is all in on pnpm for new stuff, no regrets. If you want to make stuff as easy as possible for everyone, use npm. If you use workspaces or care about speed, use pnpm. Everything else is noise

npm is behind all other package managers in most of the cases.

Yarn 1 is dead.

Yarn 2+ was created for PnP and requires too many configs for simple open source projects.

This is why I am switching to pnpm. https://t.co/5F3uN1Zc2s

Using npm workspaces for the first time and I'm running into all kinds of issues with it not being able to resolve packages, or nested dependencies.

Is this common? Should I be using pnpm/yarn instead?
