I am trying to figure out what CircleCI recommends when installing dependencies in a javascript project?
npm install or npm ci?
I know there already is this thread, but it was locked down on september 30, 2018 (and does not really conclude anything 
). Since NPM seems to really push the ci command, I think it would be awesome to establish some consensus on how we achive the fastets configuration 
Hi there,
Welcome to our community!
This is the first I heard about npm ci but it looks amazing. I am curious if anyone here has tried this in their own projects on CircleCI and what that experience has been like.
I highly recommend npm ci. Otherwise, npm might update your dependencies between re-runs of the same CI build.
Here is an example configuration file: https://github.com/juanca/react-aria-components/blob/c48abf1f9b3cde0485ad328d2b478107402ba804/.circleci/config.yml#L34
