  • One of the greatest things about a monorepo is that you can centralise a lot of tooling configuration. For example, chuck a .prettierrc in the root of your monorepo and you'll never have arguments about code style again. Put a few base tsconfigs in the there to extend, and suddenly TypeScript behaves with beautiful consistency across all your packages. Add formatting, linting and husky as dependencies in the root of your workspace and you no longer need to work through upgrading everything individually when a new version comes out.

  • prettier

    Prettier is an opinionated code formatter.
