>                 Key: CB-12242
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-12242
>             Project: Apache Cordova
>          Issue Type: Wish
>          Components: cordova-cli, cordova-lib
>            Reporter: Jacques de Villiers
>            Priority: Minor
>
> Currently it can take quite long to add certain plugins to my project (using cordova plugin add), 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.
