🧶 Yarn 3.0

The new version of the Yarn package manager for JavaScript is here! Now you can download the most popular packages right on your desk.

▶️ Watch the demo!

Usage

1. Place the ball of yarn for the package you’d like (react is cyan, lodash is pink, chalk is yellow, etc) in front of your computer.
2. Watch the selected packages’ source code get printed out on your nearest printer. Yarn 3.0 will first minify it, then re-expand it with Prettier, for maximum readability.
3. Build your project right at your desk with all the code right in front of you!

Yes, this is a joke

I made it at the NYU STUPID SHIT NO ONE NEEDS & TERRIBLE IDEAS HACKATHON 2020. I solemnly swear I was up to no good. It’s ~150 lines of code.

Note: I realize this project isn’t using Yarn for its dependencies. On my computer, Yarn had an issue building the node-native-printer module, & npm worked, & with 12-hour hackathon time constraints, I didn’t deal with fixing Yarn. Sorry.

How to run this yourself

1. Clone the repo, cd, npm i, npm start
2. Start ngrok: ngrok http 3000
3. Open the ngrok link on some device on your desk with a webcam (I used an iPad for the demo)
4. Put cyan/yellow/pink objects in front of your camera
5. Keep refilling your printer’s paper supply
