This guide will bootstrap a monorepo for web projects, with the following features:

  • Building using pnpm

Setup project

Create a new directory for the project and change directory into it

mkdir my-monorepo && cd my-monorepo

Create a package.json

Create a PNPM workspace

Create a pnpm-workspace.yaml with the paths of packages you want to be part of the workspace.
