pnpm

Introduction​

Are you tired of bloated node_modules directories and slow package installations? Say hello to pnpm – a revolutionary package manager designed to optimize your JavaScript and Node.js projects. In this documentation, we'll dive into what pnpm is all about and how it can supercharge your development workflow.

What is pnpm?​

pnpm is a fast, disk-space-efficient package manager for JavaScript and Node.js projects. Unlike traditional package managers, pnpm uses a unique approach called "linking packages," which allows multiple projects to share the same package installation. This drastically reduces disk space usage and speeds up package installations and updates.

Benefits of Using pnpm​

Why should you consider using pnpm for your projects? Here are some compelling benefits:

  1. Reduced Disk Space: With pnpm's innovative approach to package management, you'll no longer suffer from bloated node_modules directories. pnpm's linking mechanism ensures that packages are shared across projects, saving significant disk space while keeping your projects lightweight.

  2. Faster Installations: By leveraging shared packages, pnpm significantly speeds up the installation process. Once a package is installed, pnpm links it to other projects instead of duplicating it. This means faster installations and updates, as well as reduced network bandwidth usage.

  3. Improved Project Isolation: While pnpm shares packages, it ensures that each project has its own set of dependencies. You can rest assured that modifications in one project won't affect others, maintaining project isolation and reducing potential conflicts.

  4. Seamless Workflow Integration: pnpm integrates smoothly into your existing workflow and build processes. It supports popular package management commands, such as install, update, and run, making it easy to adopt without disrupting your development practices.
