Migrate Package Manager from npm to pnpm

[ThomasCode92]

Description

The project currently uses npm as the package manager. Switching to pnpm can enhance dependency management, installation speed, and performance. pnpm reduces disk space usage through content-addressable storage and provides stricter dependency resolution, which helps prevent version conflicts.

Benefits

• Performance: Faster dependency installation due to caching and deduplication.
• Storage Efficiency: Dependencies are stored globally and symlinked, reducing disk space usage.
• Dependency Resolution: Stricter enforcement of dependency tree integrity to minimize version mismatches.

Tasks

1. Remove npm-specific files, such as package-lock.json.
2. Install and configure pnpm for dependency management.
3. Update build and CI/CD scripts to use pnpm commands.
4. Test the project to ensure compatibility with pnpm.
5. Update documentation to reflect the use of pnpm.

References

• pnpm Documentation

Acceptance Criteria

• Successful project builds and runs using pnpm.
• Updated scripts and documentation with references to pnpm.
• CI/CD pipelines function correctly with pnpm.

Notes

The transition to pnpm is expected to improve efficiency and maintainability for the project.
