+# pnpmBuildHook {#pnpm-build-hook}
+
+[pnpm](https://pnpm.io/) is a an NPM-compatible package manager focused on increasing managment speeds, and reducing disk space.
+
+The `pnpmBuildHook` in Nixpkgs overrides the default build phase for building packages that use pnpm.

+
+### pnpm Exclusive Variables {#pnpm-build-hook-exclusive-variables}
+
+#### `pnpmBuildScript` {#pnpm-build-hook-script}
+
+Controls the script ran to build the package, by default the script is `build`.
+
+#### `pnpmFlags` {#pnpm-build-hook-flags}
+
+Controls flags used for all invocations of pnpm across all hooks local to this derivation.
+
+#### `pnpmBuildFlags` {#pnpm-build-hook-build-flags}
+
+Controls the flags pass only to the pnpm build script invocation.
+
+#### `dontPnpmBuild` {#pnpm-build-hook-dont}
+
+Disables automatically running `pnpmBuildHook`. The build can still be run manually if needed, for example:
+
+```
+{
+  lib,
+  rustPlatform,
+  pnpmBuildHook,
+  pnpmConfigHook,
+  fetchPnpmDeps,
+  emptyDirectory,
+  pnpm_10,

 When packaging an application that includes a `pnpm-lock.yaml`, you need to fetch the pnpm store for that project using a fixed-output-derivation. The function `fetchPnpmDeps` can create this pnpm store derivation. In conjunction, the setup hook `pnpmConfigHook` will prepare the build environment to install the pre-fetched dependencies store. Here is an example for a package that contains `package.json` and a `pnpm-lock.yaml` files using the fetcher and setup hook above:
 
+There is also the [`pnpmBuildHook`](#pnpm-build-hook) for building packages with `pnpm`, as seen in [](#ex-pnpm-build-hook).
