Yarn#

Migrating from npm to Yarn#

Comparison of commands between the npm CLI and Yarn is an overview of what commands work for similar tasks in the tools. There are more differences in the Yarn 2 version, but have not yet migrated my own projects to it.

Get latest dependencies#

yarn upgrade#

This command updates dependencies to their latest version based on the version range specified in the package.json file. The yarn.lock file will be recreated as well.

— Yarn documentation. 2020.

Figured out a faster way to update the package dependencies. I have been using Yarn for a long time, but somehow had forgotten about some of the built in features. I had used more "traditional" way of updating packages. One by one, by editing the latest version number to package.json file, and running yarn install after it.

Babel core bug fixes#

Latest Babel release v7.10.5 reduces amount of Lodash usage. It replaces parts of old code with native JavaScript features. This is a positive change to better. Less potential issues caused by 3rd party dependencies.
