monorepo-root-deps v0.3.1

monorepo-root-deps

If you have a large monorepo and your root package.json has a lot of dependencies that are only used in some packages (or apps or whatever), you can run this script to move them over. I've been using this for a monorepo with close to 500 packages and it's working somewhat well.

root-deps Usage

npx -p monorepo-root-deps move-root-deps --directory .

Options

--directory (-d)

Required

The path to your monorepo. Can be a relative path. Mostly just use -d .

--dry-run

Run the script and show a bunch of logs about what will happen, but don't actually do it. Useful for debugging.

--limit (-l)

Only move some dependencies at a time. When the limit is reached, the script will stop.

--pristine (-p)

Accepts multiple

Specify the directories you don't want to change. This is the relative path to the directory that contains packages that you don't want to change.

E.g.

npx monorepo-root-deps --directory . --pristine packages/foobarbaz

Any root dependencies that are imported in files in packages/foobarbarz/ will be retained in the root package.json also. All other packages will still get those dependencies moved into them though.

--skip (-s)

Accepts multiple

Skip dependencies that you don't want moved. E.g. if you want to keep eslint in your root package.json pass it in as this flag option.

--skip-prefix

Accepts multiple

Same as --skip, except you can use prefixes. E.g. --skip-prefix="@types/". Another useful thing is to pass the prefix you use for internal dependencies. E.g. if all your internal packages are named @repo/whatever , you can use --skip-prefix=@repo/ to skip moving them.

--include-dev

Include devDependencies from root package.json. Defaults to true, but you can turn it off.

self-imports Usage

npx -p monorepo-root-deps fix-self-imports --directory .

--directory (-d)

The path to your monorepo. Can be a relative path. Mostly just use -d .
