Package Manager

Today we’re excited to announce the release of pnpm 1!

Why only now? The initial commit to pnpm was made by Rico Sta. Cruz on Jan 27, 2016. It was based on the ideas of ied by Alexander Gugel with initial commit on Aug 6, 2015!

pnpm is a package manager for Node.js. I have written an article earlier about why should we use pnpm. In this article I want to demonstrate how using pnpm helps in preventing some silly bugs.

pnpm is an alternative package manager for Node.js. It is a drop-in replacement for npm, but faster and more efficient.

How fast? 3 times faster! (as of March 2017) See benchmarks here.
