@karimsa/mono NPM

@karimsa/mono

Monorepo helper for JavaScript.

Usage

To get started, you don't have to do anything. As long as your project follows the typical JS monorepo structure of having projects under packages/ - you should be good to go.

To run a cross-project npm install, simply do npx @karimsa/mono (you don't have to install this package, it should download quite fast with npx given that it has no dependencies & it is really small).

Here's some other things you can do:

Build all your packages: npx @karimsa/mono run build
Run all tests: npx @karimsa/mono test
Start all dev servers: npx @karimsa/mono start
Link all libraries: npx @karimsa/mono link (install will also run link after)

`start`

The start command in @karimsa/mono is a bit different from the other commands. Most commands will simply run the correct commands in each project directory, but start will concurrently run start across all projects that support it. This means that you can run all your dev servers in parallel, since this is the typical use case for start.

`link`

The link command will create require shortcuts in all repositories to all other packages. For instance, if you have the following directory structure:

packages
 |--- a
 |--- b

Then running npx @karimsa/mono link will make it so that you can require('a') inside of b and require('b') inside of a. The require links the module directly rather than making a copy so changes will always be reflected when you do a require().
