Using Yarn with Angular CLI
This post is about using Yarn in Angular CLI instead of NPM. Yarn is an alternative package manager for NPM packages with a focus on reliability and speed. It has been released in October 2016 and already gained a lot of traction and enjoys great popularity in the JavaScript community.
Angular CLI depends on the package manager when running ng new
, the command used to create a new project.
To use Yarn with Angular CLI, first you need to set the package manager as Yarn. You can do this by running following command.
ng set --global packageManager=yarn
You can revert it back to npm by modifying the command and use npm instead of Yarn. - ng set --global packageManager=npm
.
Once you set to yarn, once you create angular project, you will be able to see Angular CLI is using Yarn instead of Npm.
Happy Programming :)
