Monorepo

The monorepo uses Yarn (classic) workspaces.

To run a command for a workspace <ws>, invoke yarn workspace <ws> <cmd> from the root folder instead the the yarn <cmd> you’d have done otherwise. For example, to start a development server for the photos app, we can do

yarn workspace photos next dev

There is also a convenience alias, yarn dev:photos. See package.json for the full list of such aliases. The two common patterns are dev:<app-name> for running a local development server, and build:<app-name> for creating a production build.

Tip: yarn dev is a shorcut for yarn dev:photos

Note that yarn does not automatically update node_modules if you switch to a branch that has added or modified dependencies. So if you encounter unexpected errors on switching branches, make sure that your node_modules is up to date by running yarn install first.

yarn is a shortcut for yarn install

To add a local package as a dependency, use <package-name>@*. The "*" here denotes any version.

yarn workspace photos add '@/utils@*'
