Question: Role of Examples and Packages folders, about ts-monorepo HOT 3 CLOSED

@ramandhingra the npm branch is set up with npm 7 :) The only difference is switching yarn for npm in commands.

from ts-monorepo.

Hey @ramandhingra, packages is conventionally the folder that keeps all of the different projects inside a monorepo. You can have more than one such folder and the names are for you to choose and configure through pkg.workspaces.

In this repo, I have 2 folders, packages and examples. packages contain simpler projects that don't depend on any framework, and are meant to illustrate publishing to npm from within a monorepo. examples contain projects that use a framework and need a bit of config to work inside a monorepo. In a typical repo you could have all of them inside 1 folder, but here I wanted a clear separation between them for educational purposes.

TL;DR: the folders only mean something if you want them to mean something. Putting everything in one place is perfectly fine.

Hope that answers your question!

Hi @NiGhTTraX
Great. The answer is perfect. Thanks.

In lerna.json, I have seen that you are using yarn/workspaces. But I do not want 'yarn' at all in my project. The npm v7 has started implementing the concept of 'workspaces'. So if I replace 'yarn' with 'npm workspaces' (example below) will it work fine.

This project is using the npm workspaces and a bit of lerna.

In other words, what changes do I need to make in your project that supports 'npm' (and not yarn at all)
