What do you like best about Yarn?

Yarn CLI is also fantastic, with simple commands that are easy to remember. Yarn is the most convenient package management in projects, and I believe that security has really improved with version 6! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Yarn?

There is nothing special to hate, however, the installation pace seemed to be a little slow, and the yarn outdated command took a long time to execute, but everything is fine! as well as yarn performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Yarn solving and how is that benefiting you?

Using yarn for project package management, the project can be built on any framework, and there are several advantages. I discovered that the yarn package website is quite useful for installing third-party packages because of its high security and simple commands. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Yarn?

I guess it's the ease of use, great for mono repos, and easy to install. I also think that the icons are beautiful when installing packages. My whole experience with yarn has been great. To mention other things about yarn, I must say that it installs packages fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Yarn?

I don't see any downfalls as of now, recommended over npm. Although in one monorepo I had worked on, the project kind of broke, and I had to install the packages and reinstall in over 7 web apps which took a pretty long time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Yarn:

Remember that you need node and npm to install, so just make sure that you have that on your computer before trying to install or to use homebrew for the installation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Yarn solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm able to install node packages easily, clear cache and I'm also able to create yarn workspaces which allows me to install these packages, by installing once in the root.. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Yarn?

Yarn is fairly easy to use and quick to deploy Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Yarn?

Documentation is not sufficient for absolute newcomers Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Yarn solving and how is that benefiting you?

Quick deploy of react websites. Yarn has helped me in deploying such websites in a very easy manner.

Yarn technology is quite in its infancy state and could only be benefited with further iterations.

As for the user perspective, yarn can easily become a good offering once its consumer base increases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Yarn?

The main reasons that one should migrate to Yarn are:

It is more Stable than NPM.

It can install packages from the local cache, so we don’t have to rely on active internet connection.

It strongly binds package versions.

It allows parallel packages installation.

Yarn installs the packages simultaneously, and that is why Yarn is faster than NPM.. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Yarn?

The only problem that I encountered was that Yarn doesn’t work with any node.js version older than 5 but that’s alright, I would still prefer Yarn as it has active user community & is easy to use.. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Yarn solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use it in my automation framework.

If I have defined a scripts object in my package, yarn test command will run the specified test script & I use it because it’s faster.. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Yarn?

yarn.lock is the best feature of yarn .

Since it automatically updates the version numbers . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its structure is similar to npm. it's difficult to manage when both npm and yarn are being used .

It works in offline mode. And caches your once loaded dependencies.
