pnpm

We have hosted the application pnpm in order to run this application in our online workstations with Wine or directly.

Quick description about pnpm:

Fast, disk space efficient package manager. pnpm uses a content-addressable filesystem to store all files from all module directories on a disk. When using npm, if you have 100 projects using lodash, you will have 100 copies of lodash on disk. With pnpm, lodash will be stored in a content-addressable storage. Files inside node_modules are cloned or hard-linked from a single content-addressable storage. pnpm has built-in support for multiple packages in a repository. pnpm creates a non-flat node_modules by default, so code has no access to arbitrary packages.

Features:

• Up to 2x faster than the alternatives (see benchmark)
• Files inside node_modules are linked from a single content-addressable storage
• A package can access only dependencies that are specified in its package.json
• Has a lockfile called pnpm-lock.yaml
• Works as a Node.js version manager
• Supports Windows, Linux, and macOS

Programming Language: TypeScript.
