## pnpm Workspaces

### Setup

```yaml
# pnpm-workspace.yaml
packages:
  - "apps/*"
  - "packages/*"
  - "tools/*"
```

```json
// .npmrc
# Hoist shared dependencies
shamefully-hoist=true

# Strict peer dependencies
auto-install-peers=true
strict-peer-dependencies=true

# Performance
store-dir=~/.pnpm-store
```

### Dependency Management

```bash
# Install dependency in specific package
pnpm add react --filter @repo/ui
pnpm add -D typescript --filter @repo/ui

# Install workspace dependency
pnpm add @repo/ui --filter web

# Install in all packages
pnpm add -D eslint -w

# Update all dependencies
pnpm update -r

# Remove dependency
pnpm remove react --filter @repo/ui
```

### Scripts

```bash
# Run script in specific package
pnpm --filter web dev
pnpm --filter @repo/ui build

# Run in all packages
pnpm -r build
pnpm -r test

# Run in parallel
pnpm -r --parallel dev

# Filter by pattern
pnpm --filter "@repo/*" build
pnpm --filter "...web" build  # Build web and dependencies
```

## Nx Monorepo

### Setup

```bash
# Create Nx monorepo
npx create-nx-workspace@latest my-org

# Generate applications
nx generate @nx/react:app my-app
nx generate @nx/next:app my-next-app

# Generate libraries
nx generate @nx/react:lib ui-components
nx generate @nx/js:lib utils
```

### Configuration

```json
// nx.json
{
  "extends": "nx/presets/npm.json",
  "$schema": "./node_modules/nx/schemas/nx-schema.json",
  "targetDefaults": {
    "build": {
      "dependsOn": ["^build"],
      "inputs": ["production", "^production"],
      "cache": true
    },
    "test": {
      "inputs": ["default", "^production", "{workspaceRoot}/jest.preset.js"],
      "cache": true
    },
    "lint": {
      "inputs": ["default", "{workspaceRoot}/.eslintrc.json"],
      "cache": true
    }
  },
  "namedInputs": {
    "default": ["{projectRoot}/**/*", "sharedGlobals"],
    "production": [
      "default",
      "!{projectRoot}/**/?(*.)+(spec|test).[jt]s?(x)?(.snap)",
      "!{projectRoot}/tsconfig.spec.json"
    ],
    "sharedGlobals": []
  }
}
```

### Running Tasks

```bash
# Run task for specific project
nx build my-app
nx test ui-components
nx lint utils

# Run for affected projects
nx affected:build
nx affected:test --base=main

# Visualize dependencies
nx graph

# Run in parallel
nx run-many --target=build --all --parallel=3
```

## Shared Configurations

### TypeScript Configuration

```json
// packages/tsconfig/base.json
{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "strict": true,
    "esModuleInterop": true,
    "skipLibCheck": true,
    "forceConsistentCasingInFileNames": true,
    "module": "ESNext",
    "moduleResolution": "bundler",
    "resolveJsonModule": true,
    "isolatedModules": true,
    "incremental": true,
    "declaration": true
  },
  "exclude": ["node_modules"]
}

// packages/tsconfig/react.json
{
  "extends": "./base.json",
  "compilerOptions": {
    "jsx": "react-jsx",
    "lib": ["ES2022", "DOM", "DOM.Iterable"]
  }
}

// apps/web/tsconfig.json
{
  "extends": "@repo/tsconfig/react.json",
  "compilerOptions": {
    "outDir": "dist",
    "rootDir": "src"
  },
  "include": ["src"],
  "exclude": ["node_modules", "dist"]
}
```

### ESLint Configuration

```javascript
// packages/config/eslint-preset.js
module.exports = {
  extends: [
    "eslint:recommended",
    "plugin:@typescript-eslint/recommended",
    "plugin:react/recommended",
    "plugin:react-hooks/recommended",
    "prettier",
  ],
  plugins: ["@typescript-eslint", "react", "react-hooks"],
  parser: "@typescript-eslint/parser",
  parserOptions: {
    ecmaVersion: 2022,
    sourceType: "module",
    ecmaFeatures: {
      jsx: true,
    },
  },
  settings: {
    react: {
      version: "detect",
    },
  },
  rules: {
    "@typescript-eslint/no-unused-vars": "error",
    "react/react-in-jsx-scope": "off",
  },
};

// apps/web/.eslintrc.js
module.exports = {
  extends: ["@repo/config/eslint-preset"],
  rules: {
    // App-specific rules
  },
};
```

## Code Sharing Patterns

### Pattern 1: Shared UI Components

```typescript
// packages/ui/src/button.tsx
import * as React from 'react';

export interface ButtonProps {
  variant?: 'primary' | 'secondary';
  children: React.ReactNode;
  onClick?: () => void;
}

export function Button({ variant = 'primary', children, onClick }: ButtonProps) {
  return (
    <button
      className={`btn btn-${variant}`}
      onClick={onClick}
    >
      {children}
    </button>
  );
}

// packages/ui/src/index.ts
export { Button, type ButtonProps } from './button';
export { Input, type InputProps } from './input';

// apps/web/src/app.tsx
import { Button } from '@repo/ui';

export function App() {
  return <Button variant="primary">Click me</Button>;
}
```

### Pattern 2: Shared Utilities

```typescript
// packages/utils/src/string.ts
export function capitalize(str: string): string {
  return str.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + str.slice(1);
}

export function truncate(str: string, length: number): string {
  return str.length > length ? str.slice(0, length) + "..." : str;
}

// packages/utils/src/index.ts
export * from "./string";
export * from "./array";
export * from "./date";

// Usage in apps
import { capitalize, truncate } from "@repo/utils";
```

### Pattern 3: Shared Types

```typescript
// packages/types/src/user.ts
export interface User {
  id: string;
  email: string;
  name: string;
  role: "admin" | "user";
}

export interface CreateUserInput {
  email: string;
  name: string;
  password: string;
}

// Used in both frontend and backend
import type { User, CreateUserInput } from "@repo/types";
```

## Build Optimization

### Turborepo Caching

```json
// turbo.json
{
  "pipeline": {
    "build": {
      // Build depends on dependencies being built first
      "dependsOn": ["^build"],

      // Cache these outputs
      "outputs": ["dist/**", ".next/**"],

      // Cache based on these inputs (default: all files)
      "inputs": ["src/**/*.tsx", "src/**/*.ts", "package.json"]
    },
    "test": {
      // Run tests in parallel, don't depend on build
      "cache": true,
      "outputs": ["coverage/**"]
    }
  }
}
```

### Remote Caching

```bash
# Turborepo Remote Cache (Vercel)
npx turbo login
npx turbo link

# Custom remote cache
# turbo.json
{
  "remoteCache": {
    "signature": true,
    "enabled": true
  }
}
```

## CI/CD for Monorepos

### GitHub Actions

```yaml
# .github/workflows/ci.yml
name: CI

on:
  push:
    branches: [main]
  pull_request:
    branches: [main]

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
        with:
          fetch-depth: 0 # For Nx affected commands

      - uses: pnpm/action-setup@v2
        with:
          version: 8

      - uses: actions/setup-node@v3
        with:
          node-version: 18
          cache: "pnpm"

      - name: Install dependencies
        run: pnpm install --frozen-lockfile

      - name: Build
        run: pnpm turbo run build

      - name: Test
        run: pnpm turbo run test

      - name: Lint
        run: pnpm turbo run lint

      - name: Type check
        run: pnpm turbo run type-check
```

### Deploy Affected Only

```yaml
# Deploy only changed apps
- name: Deploy affected apps
  run: |
    if pnpm nx affected:apps --base=origin/main --head=HEAD | grep -q "web"; then
      echo "Deploying web app"
      pnpm --filter web deploy
    fi
```
