Comparison to yarn2nix-moretea

[solson]

Apologies if this is already covered somewhere, or if this is the wrong place to ask.

Does anyone know the primary pros/cons between this implementation and yarn2nix-moretea which is now living in nixpkgs at pkgs/development/tools/yarn2nix-moretea? There are a couple obvious things like #55, but I'm not sure how to evaluate these projects as a whole. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I don’t know about the current state of -moretea, but if you want to try out both and make a comparison table, I’d pin this issue.

I must say, the fact we have npm2nix, node2nix, yar2nix * 2 has long terrified me. :)

A comparison matrix on the wiki might be a good first step.

e.g. this library doesn’t support the new npm lock, neither the new yarn lock format.

Some ideas about comparison fields:

• parser: custom/upstream
• npm.lock: yes/no
• old yarn.lock format: yes/no
• new yarn.lock format: yes/no
• derivation split: one for all dependencies (node2nix) vs one per dependency
• uses npm/yarn internally: npm/yarn/no
