How to solve npm install throwing fsevents warning on non-MAC OS?

Question

Following warning is being thrown on npm install command -

npm WARN optional SKIPPING OPTIONAL DEPENDENCY: fsevents@1.1.2 (node_modules\\rea
ct-         


        

Answer 1

Instead of using --no-optional every single time, we can just add it to npm or yarn config.

For Yarn, there is a default no-optional config, so we can just edit that:

yarn config set ignore-optional true

For npm, there is no default config set, so we can create one:

npm config set ignore-optional true
