  • Add Step-up Authentication Using Angular and NestJS
    4 projects | dev.to | 28 Mar 2024
    Open the project up in your favorite IDE. Let's take a quick look at the project organization. The project has an Angular frontend and NestJS API backend housed in a Lerna monorepo. If you are curious about how to recreate the project, check out the repo's README file. I'll include all the npx commands, CLI commands, and the manual steps used to create the project.

    On Netlify's enterprise tier, approximately 46% of builds are monorepos, with the majority leveraging Nx and Lerna. Recognizing this trend, Netlify has focused on enhancing the setup and deployment experiences for monorepo projects. In particular they worked on an "automatic monorepo detection" feature. When you connect your project to GitHub, Netlify automatically detects if it's part of a monorepo, reads the relevant settings, and pre-configures your project. This eliminates the need for manual setup. This feature also extends to local development via the Netlify CLI.

  • Help with library implementation in a big webapp
    2 projects | /r/webdev | 26 Jun 2023
    This is the exact problem monorepos were born to solve. Not only will a monorepo let you share UI components, you'll be able to gradually add shared application logic as well (for instance, do all of your apps have their own logic for connecting to a database? you could roll that into a shared library with a monorepo). There are a lot of tools for accomplishing this in JS, but probably the most popular is lerna, which is built on top of NX (though lots of teams roll their own monorepo in nx without lerna, which IMO is a totally valid option).
  • How to Build and Publish Your First React NPM Package

    If so, are you using a monorepo tool like Nx or Lerna? If not, start there and see if it solves your problem.
  • [AskJS] Is there a silver bullet for consuming Typescript libraries in a Monorepo?
    5 projects | /r/javascript | 9 May 2023
    I mean I don't know what your monorepo looks like, but for example infernojs (actually written with typescript) uses lerna, and lerna seems simpler than typescript references
  • Understanding npm Versioning
