What is the deal with Yarn in a nutshell? (lemmy.world)

Figured I would just ask for the abstract basics. Just consider me an amateur noob. I was digging into ComfyUI code to look into integrating or rewriting a script of mine into a custom node for the first time. The source for custom nodes sourced through the ComfyUI node manager have some kind of Yarn package or system. I have no idea what that is or what it is used for and figured it might make a light conversation.

Yarn > v1.22 is a very different beast than npm. After that version they introduced a "package-manager" field to package.json and yarn will install the specific version of yarn required by that package onto your root system and use that version.

There's probably some way to do that without messing with your root system but after I encountered that I went back to npm. Let something like nix handle the version of my build tool. Or at least install to my home directory like rustup or sbt.
