pnpm - js package manager

[alix1383]

I think it is a good idea to install js deps with pnpm.

You can already use the --installer flag on the native:install and native:serve commands so you can use yarn or pnpm:

php artisan native:install --installer=pnpm

Maybe this needs to be extended to the native:build and native:publish commands too? Could be a nice PR for a first issue.

Also, I'm not sure if anyone is using bun but it might be cool to add that too?

[alix1383]

I sure many people using bun.
Also it's better than others js runtimes

Sorry for such a question, I have never created a Composer package before.

I want to make some changes.

Can you show me how I can use a fork of the Electron repository in my composer.json file?

I tried something, but it didn't work.

Here's a really concise answer on StackOverflow.

Once you've updated your composer.json, you need to run composer update.

Having it as an option is cool, but please don’t make pnpm the default. There are so many annoying edge cases with pnpm, eg. when working with Docker containers on Macs. Their GitHub issues are full of examples.

NPM “just works” and is much faster that it used to be so IMHO that should always be the default.

the —installer flag is cool though

[simonhamp]

Don't worry, it definitely won't be the default. npm is by far the most widely used so that will remain the default.

What might be good is that you could set the default in your .env so you don't have to keep on passing the --installer flag.
