npm to yarn cheatsheet

npm install === yarn

Install is the default behavior.

npm install taco --save === yarn add taco

The Taco package is saved to your package.jsonimmediately.

npm uninstall taco --save === yarn remove taco

—-save can be defaulted in NPM by npm config set save true but this is non-obvious to most developers. Adding and removing from package.json is default in Yarn.

npm install taco --save-dev === yarn add taco --dev

npm update --save === yarn upgrade

Great call on upgrade vs update, since that is exactly what it is doing! Version number moves, upgrade is happening! WARNING npm update --save seems to be kinda broken in 3.11

npm install taco@latest --save === yarn add taco

npm install taco --global === yarn global add taco

As always, use global flag with care.
