Workspace
pnpm a un support intégré pour les monorepo (dépôts multi-package, dépôts multi-projets ou dépôts monolithiques). Vous pouvez créer un espace de travail pour unir plusieurs projets dans un seul référentiel.
A workspace must have a pnpm-workspace.yaml
file in its
root. A workspace also may have an .npmrc
in its root.
If you are looking into monorepo management, you might also want to look into Bit.
Bit utilise pnpm sous le capot mais automatise un tas de choses qui sont actuellement faites manuellement dans un espace de travail traditionnel géré par pnpm / npm / Yarn. There's an article about bit install
that talks about it: Painless Monorepo Dependency Management with Bit.
Protocole d'espace de travail (workspace:)
If link-workspace-packages is set to true
, pnpm will link packages from the workspace if the available packages
match the declared ranges. For instance, foo@1.0.0
is linked into bar
if
bar
has "foo": "^1.0.0"
in its dependencies and foo@1.0.0
is in the workspace. However, if bar
has
"foo": "2.0.0"
in dependencies and foo@2.0.0
is not in the workspace,
foo@2.0.0
will be installed from the registry. Ce comportement introduit une certaine incertitude
.
Luckily, pnpm supports the workspace:
protocol. Lorsque ce protocole est utilisé, pnpm refuse de résoudre autre chose qu’un package de l'espace de travail local. So, if you set "foo": "workspace:2.0.0"
, this time
installation will fail because "foo@2.0.0"
isn't present in the workspace.
This protocol is especially useful when the link-workspace-packages option is
set to false
. In that case, pnpm will only link packages from the workspace if
the workspace:
protocol is used.
Référencement des packages de l'espace de travail via des alias
Let's say you have a package in the workspace named foo
. Usually, you would
reference it as "foo": "workspace:*"
.
If you want to use a different alias, the following syntax will work too:
"bar": "workspace:foo@*"
.
Avant la publication, les alias sont convertis en dépendances alliacées standards. The above
example will become: "bar": "npm:foo@1.0.0"
.
Référencement des packages de l'espace de travail via leur chemin relatif
In a workspace with 2 packages:
+ packages
+ foo
+ bar
bar
may have foo
in its dependencies declared as
"foo": "workspace:../foo"
. Before publishing, these specs are converted to
regular version specs supported by all package managers.
Publishing workspace packages
When a workspace package is packed into an archive (whether it's through
pnpm pack
or one of the publish commands like pnpm publish
), we dynamically
replace any workspace:
dependency by:
- The corresponding version in the target workspace (if you use
workspace:*
,workspace:~
, orworkspace:^
) - The associated semver range (for any other range type)
So for example, if we have foo
, bar
, qar
, zoo
in the workspace and they all are at version 1.5.0
, the following:
{
"dependencies": {
"foo": "workspace:*",
"bar": "workspace:~",
"qar": "workspace:^",
"zoo": "workspace:^1.5.0"
}
}
Will be transformed into:
{
"dependencies": {
"foo": "1.5.0",
"bar": "~1.5.0",
"qar": "^1.5.0",
"zoo": "^1.5.0"
}
}
This feature allows you to depend on your local workspace packages while still being able to publish the resulting packages to the remote registry without needing intermediary publish steps - your consumers will be able to use your published workspaces as any other package, still benefitting from the guarantees semver offers.
Release workflow
Versioning packages inside a workspace is a complex task and pnpm currently does not provide a built-in solution for it. However, there are 2 well tested tools that handle versioning and support pnpm:
For how to set up a repository using Rush, read this page.
For using Changesets with pnpm, read this guide.
Résolution de problèmes
pnpm ne peut garantir que les scripts seront exécutés en ordre topologique s'il existe des cycles entre les dépendances de l'espace de travail. Si pnpm détecte les dépendances cycliques pendant l'installation, il génère un avertissement. Si pnpm est capable de savoir quelles dépendances causent les cycles, elle les affichera aussi.
If you see the message There are cyclic workspace dependencies
, please inspect workspace dependencies declared in dependencies
, optionalDependencies
and devDependencies
.
