Say you have a project that uses NPM for dependency management. How would you convert that project to use Yarn?
For the longest time the way I did it was just deleting the package-lock.json and running yarn to generate a new lockfile. While this works well on small projects, dependency pinning is there for a reason and trying to do this on a larger project may land you in hot water. So how do you do it safely? It's simple:
yarn import
That's it! When you run yarn import, yarn will read your package-lock.json and generate a yarn.lock file based on it. It's a much safer way to migrate from one package manager to the other.
