Yarn

This item was not updated in last three versions of the Radar. Should it have appeared in one of the more recent editions, there is a good chance it remains pertinent. However, if the item dates back further, its relevance may have diminished and our current evaluation could vary. Regrettably, our capacity to consistently revisit items from past Radar editions is limited.

Yarn is a package manager for Node.js and JavaScript packages. It is the successor of npm and mainly solves the performance problem of npm.

In our projects yarn (version 1) is used as the standard package manager in our projects but we currently evaluate other tools like pnpm to improve the installation speed as well as reduce the disk space occupied by all the JavaScript packages.
