✨ Getting Started

Installation

1. Installing NodeJS

NodeJS (aka Node) is a cross-platform JavaScript environment built on top of the V8 engine that powers Google Chrome. It is used for testing and running packages and applications developed in this project. NodeJS also comes packaged with the NPM package manager, which is recommended for installing global dependencies.

You can download a NodeJS installer from the official downloads page, or through a package manager.

Verify or check your installed NodeJS version by running the below command:

node --version

Note

If a project requires a specific version of NodeJS determined by the V8 version, use:

$ node
> process.versions.v8
'9.4.146.19-node.13'

2. Installing Yarn

This project uses the Yarn package manager to manage project dependencies and scripts. Yarn version 3.5.0+ is supported, though it's recommended to install Yarn through Corepack as detailed below.

Note

If you're using Yarn <2.0, you can upgrade by running yarn set version berry.

The recommended way to install or upgrade Yarn is through a NodeJS binary called Corepack. Corepack installs a proxy for Yarn or PNPM binaries that transparently intercepts Yarn or PNPM commands, installs them (if not already installed), and runs the command. This vastly simplifies installation and versioning of package managers across NodeJS projects without the fuss of OS-specific quirks.

To install Yarn through Corepack, run the below command(s) depending on your NodeJS version:

# For NodeJS v16.9.0+ and v14.19.0+
$ corepack enable

# For NodeJS <16.10
$ npm uninstall -g yarn pnpm
$ npm install -g corepack

When completed, verify yarn installs successfully:

$ yarn --version
3.5.0

To install project dependencies, run yarn or yarn install. For a comprehensive list of Yarn commands, consult the Yarn docs.

Working with Yarn Workspaces

This project uses a monorepo approach to manage dependencies and projects. Monorepos allow for a simplified developer experience, providing better discoverability and atomicity.

With the Yarn workspaces feature, multiple packages and applications can easily coexist and cross-reference each other across different workspaces (aka packages/ or services/). This aids in the efficiency of testability and sharability of configurations, packages and applications without duplicating dependencies or code.

You can list all available workspaces by running:

$ yarn workspaces list

To run a script from a specific workspace, run:

$ yarn workspace <workspace> run <script>
# or
$ yarn workspace <workspace> <script>

![NOTE] You can also use yarn run <script> or yarn run <script> to run a script from your current working directory. This is the recommended way of running scripts if you're working on a specific project.

Additionally, to run scripts by name from all workspaces, use:

$ yarn workspaces foreach <script>

Configuring projects

In addition to sharing dependencies with yarn workspaces, projects can also share scripts from the config/ workspace withing adding any dependencies to the project's project.json file. This allows for a single source of truth for running scripts across the monorepo.

Shared configs also typically contain base configurations and executables for extending and bootstrapping new projects, establishing sensible defaults or extending the base functionality of tooling. This is useful if nuances in a base configuration can't be separated into individual configuration files, where it'd instead make more sense to control or vendor features programmatically.

Below is a breakdown of all shared configs in this monorepo:

Learn more about running shared scripts with the Yarn Global Runner.

Yarn Global Runner

Run workspace scripts anyhow and from anywhere with the yarn global runner.

This allows you to run pre-defined scripts like yarn jest clean. You can run your own commands independently or combine them with pre-defined scripts, e.g. with yarn tsc watch --target ES5 or yarn tsc -w --target ES5.

In yarn configured projects, just run:

# > videre-project/packages/@videre-nodejs/:
$ yarn jest <...args?>
# or
$ yarn tsc <...args?>

Or in any other project directory, run with g:workspace or g:config:

# > videre-project/.../:
$ yarn g:workspace @videre/js jest <...args?>
# or
$ yarn g:config jest -d @videre/nodejs <...args?>
More examples

For workspace scripts, run commands with g:workspace:

# > videre-project/.../:
$ yarn g:workspace <workspace> <...flags?> <script> <...args?>
# e.g.
$ yarn g:workspace @videre/js -v jest --watch -- file.test.ts
$ yarn g:workspace config-jest -d @videre/js -v watch -- file.test.ts

For config scripts, run commands with g:config:

# > videre-project/.../:
$ yarn g:config <workspace> <...flags> <script> <...args?>
# e.g.
$ yarn g:config jest -d @videre/js -v watch -- file.test.ts

Optional flags include:

  • (-d|--default) Passes a default argument to a script. You can pass multiple arguments with -d foo bar --.
  • (-q|--quiet) Disables yarn runner output (perserves script output).
  • (-v|--verbose) Enables verbose yarn runner script tracing.

Note

The default argument for g:config scripts must be the current working directory or the name/location of a workspace. This is done to allow for scripts to efficiently read and execute in the expected workspace location.
