Both NPM and PNPM are tools that help developers install and manage JavaScript libraries (packages) in their projects. NPM is the default package manager that comes with Node.js and is widely used, while PNPM is a faster alternative that saves disk space by using a unique storage method. PNPM creates hard links to a single package storage instead of copying files for each project, making it more efficient.
npm is a package manager that comes bundled with Node.js, while pnpm is a fast, disk space efficient package manager. npm has a more extensive set of features, including a built-in package registry and a larger community of developers. pnpm, on the other hand, is known for its speed and efficiency, making it a popular choice for large-scale projects.
Both npm and pnpm support TypeScript out of the box.
npm is not designed for browser use, while pnpm can be used in the browser with some configuration.
npm has a larger set of dependencies, including a built-in package registry, while pnpm has fewer dependencies and relies on the npm registry.
pnpm is generally faster than npm due to its efficient package installation algorithm.
Both npm and pnpm are compatible with popular frameworks like React, Angular, and Vue.
npm has a larger and more active community, with more contributors and maintainers.
npm has more extensive and well-maintained documentation, while pnpm's documentation is still growing.
npm is actively maintained by the Node.js team, while pnpm is maintained by a smaller team of developers.
1npm install reactThis command installs the React package using npm.
1pnpm install reactThis command installs the React package using pnpm.
npm is a good choice for small to medium-sized projects, while pnpm is a better choice for large-scale projects that require efficient package management.
A fast and reliable package manager created by Facebook. Yarn was made to solve NPM's early performance and security issues, using a lockfile to ensure consistent installations across different machines.
Yarn is the most established NPM alternative, with great documentation and wide community support. It's very beginner-friendly and works almost exactly like NPM, making it easy to switch.
Package ManagerA super-fast all-in-one JavaScript runtime and package manager. Bun is written in a low-level language (Zig) and focuses on being incredibly fast - much faster than NPM or Yarn.
While newer, Bun is gaining popularity because it's extremely fast and can replace both Node.js and NPM. It's perfect for developers who want better performance and simpler tooling.
Package Manager & RuntimeA next-generation package manager from Vercel that replaces NPM. It's designed to be incredibly fast and work well with monorepos (projects with multiple packages).
Turbo is great for larger projects and teams that need better performance. It's backed by Vercel (creators of Next.js) and has excellent documentation.
Package ManagerA smart package manager helper that automatically detects and uses the right package manager for your project. It works with NPM, Yarn, PNPM, and Bun.
Perfect for developers who work on different projects that use different package managers. It's like a universal remote control for package managers.
