             Summary: Use yarn js instead of npm when adding plugins
                 Key: CB-12242
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-12242
             Project: Apache Cordova
          Issue Type: Wish
          Components: CLI, CordovaLib
            Reporter: Jacques de Villiers
            Priority: Minor


Currently it can take quite long to add certain plugins to my project, especially if I need to re-add the plugins. My suggestion is to update the cordova cli to start using yarn js instead of npm directly.

When I looked at this page, I realised yarn was just a wrapper for npm, and much better at caching packages locally.

I would imagine this change would be relatively straightforward, and would be a massive win for the cli.

I was thinking of creating a fork to do a PR but realised I am not totally sure how to proceed on this.
