We've decided that we want to use
npm
as our package manager for JavaScript dependencies, so this removes our explicit support for the other package managers, though we still remain pretty agnostic due to the use ofPackageJson
which I've retained for now given it's lightweight and secretly I'm keen to explorepnpm
at some point so this will come in handy if that turns out to be worth switching to 😄I've also retained the "create fake package managers" script + ci step to ensure that we really are only ever using
npm
; I plan to explore refactoring that script given we no longer need to support all the package managers as a follow-up since it too is lightweight and perfectly functional as-is.
