What is only-allow?

The 'only-allow' npm package is used to enforce the use of a specific package manager in a project. This ensures that all contributors use the same package manager, which can help avoid issues related to package-lock files and dependency management.

Enforce npm usage

This feature ensures that npm is the only package manager allowed for the project. If a user tries to install dependencies using a different package manager, the installation will fail.

{
  "scripts": {
    "preinstall": "npx only-allow npm"
  }
}

Enforce yarn usage

This feature ensures that yarn is the only package manager allowed for the project. If a user tries to install dependencies using a different package manager, the installation will fail.

/* Add this to your package.json file */
{
  "scripts": {
    "preinstall": "npx only-allow yarn"
  }
}

Enforce pnpm usage

This feature ensures that pnpm is the only package manager allowed for the project. If a user tries to install dependencies using a different package manager, the installation will fail.

/* Add this to your package.json file */
