Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Currently we support only npm based node ecosystem. yarn is also a popular one we should consider it too.

yarn does uses the same set of packages from npm registry., it just an another tool to manage & resolve dependencies.

@arajkumar @mathur07 any updates on this ?

I'll be happy to help also :)

From my understanding, we should

• add an option to use yarn instead of npm as a package provider
• In this file, instead of using npm list -json, find the alternative with yarn
• If the report created by yarn is the same as the one created by npm, things should work,
• otherwise, modify this file to adapt report format of yarn to npm

Is it right ?

Please, also add pnpm, because it is frecuently used too (as yarn / npm)

I disabled the extension because of this. It was popping up all the time with a warning, trying to use npm to install modules, when we use yarn (and we have a yarn.lock file).
