    Discontinued The main repository of Kaviar Framework and Development Playground

  • If I was creating a project like yours with multiple related packages I would be tempted to create a monorepo. I was going to share the pros and cons I've experienced when creating and working with monorepos for Node.js projects, however I'm not totally clear on the purpose of the "central repo" which you've linked to (https://github.com/kaviarjs/kaviar). In the README it says:

  • verdaccio

    📦🔐 A lightweight Node.js private proxy registry

  • I highly recommend using a package proxy like https://github.com/verdaccio/verdaccio instead of git submodules if you have more then one developer using your code/repo. Biggest factor is the cost of the developers time. Why teach them a different way to install dependancies when there is a standard way of doing things your CI/CD is simplified, the knowledge of git submodules is good to know, but this is now tribal knowledge on how to setup this up, update dependancies, etc...

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc.
