lerna

Lerna helps to solve this by allowing easy management of multiple JS applications/ repositories by:

  • Allowing sharing of common packages across all applications

  • Allowing sharing of commands across all applications

Getting Started - Allowing sharing of common packages across all applications

Each package maintains its node_modules with all dependencies it needs. Hoisting dependencies to the root of the repository is possible. Let's try it...

$ npm run bootstrap

which internally calls npx lerna clean -y && npx lerna bootstrap --hoist

Now all packages are installed in the root of the repository, and node_modules local to packages contain only symlinks.

Allowing sharing of commands across all applications

By using npm run lerna-test command, Lerna will look at each package's package.json file for an npm script that matches the script and runs it.
