VIDEO – Reduce SPFX Node Modules from 50,000 files to 1,000

Recently discovered an efficient centralized node package manager (PNPM) which leverages “symlinks” or symbolic linked folders to reduce disk storage duplication.  Recued from 50,200 to 1,000.  Demo video below.   Cheers!  

Code

# Install the package globally:
npm install -g pnpm
# In each SPFX project (or nodejs project i believe):
pnpm install

Cool Chart
