  • I'm learning fullstack JavaScript development, and was trying to get ideas for project organization going forward. I've already started putting the frontend/backend in separate subdirectories in monorepos to allow them to be developed independently, and it seems to be working well. However, this repo (https://github.com/karanpratapsingh/fullstack-starterkit) separates the two, but includes a third package.json in the root directory. What's the point of this? I've had experiences where package versions clash due to differences between package.json files in parent and child directories, is there a way to make sure this is avoided if I copy this organization?
