Summary of Changes

Hello @chintankavathia, I'm Gemini Code Assist¹! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request resolves an installation incompatibility issue for consumers using yarn by removing a restrictive engine constraint from the package.json. While enhancing external compatibility, it maintains internal development consistency by introducing a preinstall script that mandates npm for dependency management within the repository itself.

Highlights

• Engine Restriction Removal: The explicit yarn engine restriction has been removed from the package.json file, allowing the package to be installed by applications using yarn or other package managers.
• Development Environment Enforcement: A preinstall script has been added to package.json to enforce the use of npm for dependency installation within the repository during development, ensuring consistency for contributors.

Changelog

• package.json
  • Removed the yarn entry from the engines field, which previously prevented installation with yarn.
  • Added a preinstall script (npx -y only-allow npm) to ensure that npm is used for dependency installation during development.

Code Review

This pull request aims to allow consumers to install the package using package managers other than npm, like yarn. It does this by removing the engines.yarn restriction and adding a preinstall script to enforce npm for development. However, the preinstall script will also run for consumers, effectively blocking them from using other package managers, which defeats the purpose of this change. My review includes a critical comment with a suggested fix to ensure the preinstall script only runs in the development environment.
