Nice, quite neutral explanation. Thanks for sharing.

[@MonsterlessonsAcademy]

Glad you liked it

0:57 In a flat structure you don’t copy dependencies “all the time”, that will be in a nested structure without soft&hard links. In a flat structure you should have only one copy of (a version of) each package.

[@MonsterlessonsAcademy]

You are correct but when you have multiple versions of the same package across your dependencies it is not flat anymore as it can't just install the only version in root.

[@sliceem88]

Tnx! Nice explanation !

[@MonsterlessonsAcademy]

Glad it was helpful!

I like Yarn PnP.. but. PnP is not ready for development of big projects yet, I suppose. The reason is that PnP is very strict.. + their override causes weird issues from time to time.. Mostly because their approach is very strict. I guess, that in reality, we have to take reality in account and not be so ideal and "righty". For small (pushable) projects: I'd use yarn PnP For big (enterprise) projects: I'd use pnpm For widely used open source projects: I'd still try to use npm I hope! that yarn and pnpm and npm will come to the same specification! Now it is a shame what we have in documentation/ configuration and all could use 1 thing to manage all packages as it was before

[@MonsterlessonsAcademy]

I agree with you. But just to remind when we had just npm with shrinkwrap and no lock file by default and they didn't change anything until yarn came out. Competition really pushes them all forward.

Pnpm unusable on windows. A lot of bugs. Tried version 8+ Too long path on windows errors. Random errors on package updates.

[@MonsterlessonsAcademy]

Sounds bad. Luckily I don't use windows. On macos I had zero problems with pnpm

7:58 scared me. I thought my speakers broke

[@MonsterlessonsAcademy]

Sorry I should've picked lighter sound :)

[@re.liable]

@@MonsterlessonsAcademy No worries :) Just tried out pnpm and it seems to work great. When I finish my current NPM project maybe I'll try to do the next one in pnpm. Cheers

YARN not JARN....
