Migrate to the newer package manager

[yangwao]

Someone can take care and migrate to yarn v2, it should cut us time for development and fresh installs

Why we should migrate -> https://yarnpkg.com/getting-started/qa#why-should-you-upgrade-to-yarn-modern

Note to @yangwao -- check deployments if works ok!

• on beta
• on production

Old yarn 1.22.10

23.93s

Compiled successfully in 34.49s (I guess wont we get better performance)

yarn generate Done in 40.31s. (yarn v2/v3 won't impact this one I guess)

I would suggest upgrade to pnpm instead of yarn v2 for now

I agree with this reason: https://twitter.com/sitnikcode/status/1474367850341097483

Interesting point

But pnpm needs to be installed as extra I guess? But same as for yarn.
Do they have some lock files as well?
Curious about compatibility with CI/CD tools we are using tbh

Just wanted to open that we can migrate to pnpm seems like yarn v1 becomes deprecated soon

[preschian]

I tried to migrate to pnpm, it seems like too many errors with types. I tried to fix it little by little in here preschian#1. seems like not an easy task tho

@vikiival do you have any concerns about this PR? #2529 it can help a little about migration to pnpm

Just think it will bloat the package size and still you haven't resolved the issue with polkadot packages (hint do not add them as the depencdency) :)

[preschian]

unfortunately, it will cause an error in pnpm if the packages are not installed. because pnpm use different strategies https://pnpm.io/motivation#creating-a-non-flat-node_modules-directory

for example:

let me try https://pnpm.io/npmrc#node-linker in pnpm, it should use npm/yarn behaviour

[preschian]

able to run in local using pnpm with node-linker=hoisted enabled. need to find out these postcss warnings, where is this come from 🤔

[vikiival]

May some of these can help
