# pnpm Setup Complete ✅

## Package Manager Migration

This project now uses **pnpm** as the default package manager instead of npm.

## ✅ Completed Steps

1. **Installed pnpm** (if not already installed)
2. **Removed npm artifacts** (node_modules, package-lock.json)
3. **Installed all dependencies** with pnpm
4. **Verified build process** works with pnpm
5. **Updated all documentation** to use pnpm commands
6. **Created .npmrc** for pnpm configuration
7. **Updated .gitignore** to exclude npm/yarn lock files (keeping pnpm-lock.yaml)

## 📦 Package Manager Commands

### Installation
```bash
# Install dependencies
pnpm install

# Add a dependency
pnpm add <package>

# Add a dev dependency
pnpm add -D <package>

# Remove a dependency
pnpm remove <package>
```

### Development
```bash
# Start dev server
pnpm run dev

# Build for production
pnpm run build

# Preview production build
pnpm run preview

# Run linter
pnpm run lint
```

### Testing
```bash
# Run tests
pnpm run test

# Run tests with UI
pnpm run test:ui

# Run tests with coverage
pnpm run test:coverage

# Run tests in watch mode
pnpm run test:watch
```

## 🔧 Configuration

### .npmrc
Created `.npmrc` with pnpm-specific settings:
- `auto-install-peers=true` - Automatically install peer dependencies
- `strict-peer-dependencies=false` - Relaxed peer dependency checking

### .gitignore
Updated to:
- Keep `pnpm-lock.yaml` (committed to repo)
- Ignore `package-lock.json` and `yarn.lock`

## 📊 Verification

✅ **Dependencies Installed**: All packages installed successfully  
✅ **Build Successful**: Production build works correctly  
✅ **Linter Works**: Code linting functions properly  
✅ **Documentation Updated**: All docs reference pnpm  

## 🚀 Quick Start

```bash
# 1. Install dependencies
pnpm install

# 2. Set up environment variables
cp .env.example .env.local
# Edit .env.local with your values

# 3. Start development
pnpm run dev
```

## 📝 Notes

- **pnpm-lock.yaml**: This file is committed to version control to ensure consistent installs
- **Node Modules**: pnpm uses a content-addressable store, saving disk space
- **Speed**: pnpm is generally faster than npm for installs
- **Disk Efficiency**: pnpm uses hard links, reducing disk usage significantly

## 🔄 Migration from npm

If you were previously using npm:

1. Remove old lock file: `rm package-lock.json`
2. Install with pnpm: `pnpm install`
3. Use pnpm commands going forward
