dpogue commented on issue #292: CB-12242 : Use yarn instead of npm
URL: https://github.com/apache/cordova-cli/pull/292#issuecomment-394422962
Not speaking for anyone else here, but I'm not especially in favour of
adding additional complexity and maintenance burden to several layers of
Cordova libraries for very little benefit. Cordova made the decision to use
npm, and with the improvements in npm 5 and 6 it's arguable whether there's any
advantage to yarn (especially in this limited use case).
We know that there are some issues with how cordova-fetch is using npm, but
I'd rather fix those as opposed to doubling the amount of testing everyone
needs to do to support two package managers with different command syntaxes.

> Use yarn js instead of npm when adding plugins
> ----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CB-12242
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-12242
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: cordova-cli, cordova-lib
> Reporter: Jacques de Villiers
> Priority: Major
>
> Currently it can take quite long to add certain plugins to my project (using
> cordova plugin add), especially if I need to re-add the plugins. My
> suggestion is to update the cordova cli to start using yarn js instead of npm
> directly.
> When I looked at this page, I realised yarn was just a wrapper for npm, and
> much better at caching packages locally.
> https://shift.infinite.red/npm-vs-yarn-cheat-sheet-8755b092e5cc#.jiz27n1hc
> I would imagine this change would be relatively straightforward, and would be
> a massive win for the cli.
> I was thinking of creating a fork to do a PR but realised I am not totally
> sure how to proceed on this.
