Speed up your package installation process, reduce your disk usage, extend the lifespan of your precious SSD by reducing your node_modules size.
While you embracing the latest features and security fixes by installing the latest Node.js LTS, eslint-plugin-import, eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y, eslint-plugin-react, and many other packages maintained by ljharb are still trying to support the long-dead Node.js 4 by adding tons of polyfills. Those polyfills are inflating your node_modules size, wasting your disk space and making your npm i / yarn / pnpm i slow. And what's worse, ljharb uses the polyfill implementation even when the native version is available in the environment, which makes the code run slower.
Whether to support Node.js 4 is up to ljharb, but most of you should not be forced to install polyfills for a Node.js version that has been dead since 2018-04-30.
- Your Node.js version is below
12.4.0. - You are targetting a environment that doesn't have full ES2019 support (which you really should use core-js or core-js-pure instead. It is significantly faster).
Add the following lines to your package.json's overrides:

"array-buffer-byte-length": "npm:@nolyfill/array-buffer-byte-length@latest",

}
}It is necessary to execute the npm update (which will rebuild the package-lock.json file) after adding overrides, due to an unresolved confirmed bug of npm.
