tsc-mono v2.1.2

tsc-mono

Super simple typescript mono-repo tooling.

It is recommended that you use at least TypeScript v5 as TypeScript v4 is significantly slower.

Features

• runs commands for each TS project in correct order based on the projects' dependency graph
• relies on package.json's workspaces property: no need to duplicate this information
• TSConfig reference paths are not required
• TSConfig option composite is not required
• TSConfig option declarationMap is not required
• no need to manually list all your TS projects' inter-repo dependencies

Speed

This is likely not the fastest way to build a mono-repo. However, it is intended to be most stable. After constantly fighting against tsc's poor mono-repo tooling, and not desiring a full-blown mono-repo management tool (like Bazel) for simple projects, I finally built this.

Installation

npm i tsc-mono

Usage

It is recommended to first setup npm workspaces (if you use npm) as you must use package name imports to import between each in-repo TS project.

tsc-mono <command> <command-inputs>

• <command>: the tsc-mono command you wish to run.
• <command-inputs>: inputs to the tsc-mono command in the bullet above. Currently there is only one command: for-each.

for-each

for-each will run a given bash command for each TS project. The <command-inputs> are considered the bash command to run. Projects will be run in order based on their dependency graph.

Examples:

• run type checking for each TS project:

  npx tsc-mono for-each tsc --noEmit

• run "npm start" for each TS project:

  npx tsc-mono for-each npm start

Help output

Help message from the CLI:

tsc-mono usage:

tsc-mono <command> <command-inputs>

    - <command>: command that you want tsc-mono to run with this TS projects. Example: "for-each"
    - <command-inputs>: inputs for the given command. The options here will vary by command. Example: "npm run build"

Commands:

for-each
    - runs the given <command-inputs> as a bash script for each of the TS projects
    - projects are executed in dependency order

    Examples:
        - tsc-mono for-each npm run build
        - tsc-mono for-each "npm run build && echo success"
