See the change log for changes and road map.

Prerequisite

You need to install Yarn in order for this extension to work.

Restore packages using Yarn

Right-click package.json in any web project to see the command for restoring using Yarn.

Restore on saving package.json (VS2017 only)

Automatically run yarn install when saving package.json by enabling it in the Tools -> Options dialog.

Remember to disable the built-in npm restore when you do this (see below).

This feature is restricted to work on Visual Studio 2017 only because Visual Studio 2015 doesn't have the option to disable automatic npm install.

Disable npm restore (VS2017 only)

By default Visual Studio will call npm install when package.json is saved and also when a project containing a package.json file is being opened.

To turn off the automatic calls to npm install, disable them in the Tools -> Options dialog.
