monorepo-yarn-typescript

explanation

This repository shows a simple way to create a monorepo (where X applications can use a shared package - e.g. for shared UI, scripts, services, models or whatever).

The solution I built uses Yarn Workspaces, Yarn PnP and Node.js Corepack.

requirements

• Node.js 18+ (v18.13.0)
• Yarn 4.0.1 (managed by corepack):
  1. $ npm uninstall -g yarn
  2. $ npm install -g corepack
  3. $ corepack enable

setup

• install dependencies (generate .pnp.cjs file):

$ yarn

• run compilation process for shared package (in watch mode):

$ yarn workspace shared watch # tsc --watch

• run compilation process for app1 package (in watch mode):

$ yarn workspace app1 watch # tsc --watch

• execute app1 output:

$ yarn workspace app1 node dist/src/index.js

TODO

1. production build instruction
2. packages versioning
