Monorepo Setup

Configure a scalable monorepo with Turborepo and pnpm workspaces.

Core Workflow

  1. Initialize structure: Create workspace layout
  2. Configure pnpm: Setup workspaces
  3. Add Turborepo: Configure build pipeline
  4. Create shared packages: Common utilities
  5. Setup apps: Applications consuming packages
  6. Configure CI/CD: Optimized builds

Best Practices

  1. Workspace protocol: Use workspace:* for internal deps
  2. Shared configs: Centralize TypeScript, ESLint
  3. Build caching: Enable Turborepo remote caching
  4. Incremental builds: Use dependsOn correctly
  5. Package exports: Use proper exports field
  6. Version management: Use Changesets
  7. Clean scripts: Include clean in each package
  8. Consistent naming: Use @repo/ prefix

Output Checklist

Every monorepo should include:

  • pnpm-workspace.yaml configuration
  • turbo.json with proper pipeline
  • Shared TypeScript configs
  • Shared ESLint configs
  • UI component library
  • Utility package
  • Proper package.json exports
  • tsup for library building
  • CI/CD with caching
  • Changeset for versioning
