monorepo-boilerplate

This project serves as a boilerplate for setting up a monorepo using Yarn Workspaces and Lerna.

Usage

Run 'client' package which uses 'shared' package:

$ node packages/client/index.js

Run 'server' package which uses 'shared' package:

$ node packages/server/index.js

Run 'test' script in all packages with one command from root:

$ yarn test

How was this created?

• Create package.json with "private": true and "workspaces": ["packages/*"].
• Create folder 'packages' with the subfolders: 'client', 'server', and 'shared'.
• Run yarn init -y in all packages subfolders.
• Add 'shared' as a dependency in package.json in 'client' and 'server' folders.
• Run yarn install.
• Create an index.js file with a function in 'shared' folder.
• Create an index.js file in both 'client' and 'server' folders which requires 'shared'.
• Run yarn add -D -W lerna from root to add Lerna.
• Run npx lerna init to setup Lerna.
• Add "npmClient": "yarn" and "useWorkspaces": true to lerna.json.
• Add test script that runs lerna to package.json in root.
• Add test script to package.json in all packages folders.
