base-create-monorepo

Utility for npm init create-* scripts for monorepos.

Based on base-create but for monorepos.

• :sparkles: Auto-installs dependencies.
• :sparkles: Auto-initializes lerna.
• Baked-in .gitignore.

Note: If you want different options for different sub-packages, use base-create directly.

With an initializer package create-custom-babel-monorepo to create a monorepo project my-app with two nested packages my-first-package and my-second-package, pass a comma-delimited list of package names to the command after the project name:

$ npm init custom-babel-monorepo my-app my-first-package,my-second-package

Or if you wanted an npm scope @my-org on your package names (@my-org/my-app, @my-org/my-first-package, and @my-org/my-second-package), pass the org as an argument after the project name but before the package names:

$ npm init custom-babel-monorepo my-app @my-org my-first-package,my-second-package

Here is example source of such an initializer. Options at the root apply to the root package, and eachPackage defines options to apply to all sub-packages:

#!/usr/bin/env node

const createMonorepo = require("base-create-monorepo");

createMonorepo({
  package: {
    scripts: {
      start: "lerna run start",
      build: "lerna run build",
      "build:watch": "lerna run --parallel build:watch",
    },
  },
  eachPackage: {
    dependencies: ["@babel/runtime"],
    devDependencies: [
      "@babel/core",
      "@babel/cli",
      "@babel/node",
      "@babel/preset-env",
      "@babel/preset-typescript",
      "@babel/plugin-transform-runtime",
      "typescript",
    ],
    package: {
      scripts: {
        start: "node .",
        build: "babel -x .ts,.tsx src --out-dir dist",
        "build:watch": "npm run build -- --watch",
      },
    },
    files: ["src/index.ts"],
  },
  files: [
    {
      path: "babel.config.json",
      contents: {
        presets: ["@babel/preset-env", "@babel/preset-typescript"],
        plugins: ["@babel/plugin-transform-runtime"],
      },
    },
  ],
});
