Change package manager on pnpm

[Alex-Andr-19]

Project's package manager is npm, but this technology is so old and has many misstakes on optimisation case. It creates many duplicates of the same packages in node_modules and another reason for change npm is install dependencing packages with missmatching of versions.
Example, project has package A with dependency of C with version 1.1.5 and package B with dependency of C with version 1.0.5. Last versioin of C that would be loaded is 1.0.5. npm can create incidence that would be import in package A package C with version 1.0.5, but package A should use newer API of C.

I prefer use package-manager pnpm.

Sorry, but pnpm is not included in the official Node Docker image we are using. I don't want to create a custom image until I'm forced to do so.

I believe npm is "old, but not obsolete"(c).

You can just install pnpm in your image and docker will just cache it. You can do it on step after clone node image and cache the installation of pnpm would be saved by long time.

To avoid this kind of issues follow at least next two rules:

• Install dependencies with fixed version: npm i -E <package_name>.
• do not use npm install for installing all dependencies, use npm ci for this purpose.

pnpm uses npm.. all the issues you can have - are created because you dont know how to use the tool, not because the tool is old :D
Also having different version of the same package is BAD - why would anyone want this...
