pnpm package manager

TIL

pnpm is an alternative to either npm or yarn

How does it work?

Rather than installing a node_modules package for every project, it sets up a local store on your machine.

For instance, any project that may use vite will draw from the same source.

pnpm then creates links to individual directories that need access to those files. But you’re only installing them once on your machine.

Commands

Install the app (packages) locally

pnpm install

Run local server

pnpm run dev

Build for production

pnpm run build

Preview build

pnpm run preview
