Comparative analysis of JavaScript package managers - yarn and npm
Abstract
In this article, two leading solutions for managing packages in projects which are using JavaScript technology (yarn and npm) were subjected to a comparative analysis. As part of the implementation, two configuration files were created, one of which represents an empty application created on the basis of an application template based on the Angular framework in version 8. The second file reflects an extensive web application based on the same framework, but with the addiction of over 100 dependencies. The research was focused on the time efficiency of both solutions.
