FAQ

What does Lerna do?

Lerna is a tool to manage multiple packages in one repository. (In our case the multiple packages are yarn workspaces defined in the package.json). We want to be able to import every plugin on its own, so we need a tool which links the different packages together. This is where Lerna comes into play. It automatically resolves local packages in the dependencies and and links them correctly, so they can be imported and handled like any published npm package (e.g without knowledge about the file structure). Lerna also provides the possibility to run a script in all packages, so lerna run build:watch executes the build:watch script in every package, so you don't have to call them all by yourself.
