Monorepo is so frustrating...

• nx

  347 22,188 10.0 TypeScript

  Smart Monorepos · Fast CI

  

After a few longer moments of familiarizing myself with nx, I found a post that nx prefers "single privacy policy" (one package.json file) which is opinionated. I personally don't like the single package.json policy (maybe for my PoC it would be ok, but I can't imagine it for large applications) and I'm not the only one https://github.com/nrwl/nx/issues/1777 . Ok, so nx and pnpm are out. That's why I stay with good old yarn (yarn v1 of course), giving it a chance with workspaces.

• yarnberry-expo-quickstarter

  Yarn 2 (berry) + React Native / Expo has never been so easy

Ok, I run the application - it doesn't work. I need to configure Expo with workspaces.... There is a special documentation for this -> https://docs.expo.dev/guides/monorepos/ , copy / paste step by step. I restart the application and... obviously does not work. Somewhere in the depths of the internet I found this https://github.com/jsamr/yarnberry-expo-quickstarter/blob/master/packages/expo-client/metro.config.js , I copy the metro.config.js configuration and luckily it works! Wow.

• react-native-monorepo-tools

  Tools and utils to support a React Native monorepo built with Yarn Workspaces

Second app with bare RN. Similar story. It doesn't work. I googled and found this https://github.com/mmazzarolo/react-native-monorepo-tools . But still doesn't work... I found some random example https://github.com/aws-samples/aws-sdk-js-tests/blob/main/packages/react-native/metro.config.js and wow it works. I skip the confusion with tsconfig.json, setting path etc.

• lerna

  162 35,389 8.9 TypeScript

  :dragon: Lerna is a fast, modern build system for managing and publishing multiple JavaScript/TypeScript packages from the same repository.

  

Ok, time to implement Lerna. As usual, it just can't work because there is another problem. Lerna does not support (or not 100%) Yarn 2/3 https://github.com/lerna/lerna/issues/2449 Ok, so pnpm, nx and lerna have already dropped out.

• Next.js

  2,050 121,024 10.0 JavaScript

  The React Framework

  

But I'm not giving up, and I'm looking at the biggest frontend projects for best practices for monorepo. For example, I browse the Next.js repo https://github.com/vercel/next.js/. I see the file pnpm-workspace.yaml so pnpm.... also there is a lerna.json and.... turbo.json, I'm starting to lose my mind and I stop searching something to manage monorepo with a tool for that. I only have yarn workspaces.

Fine, but I need a package release tool and release-it tools looks good.
