TypeScript Monorepo with pnpm Workspaces

Managing multiple TypeScript projects doesn't have to be painful. Here's how to set up a maintainable monorepo.

Why pnpm?

pnpm offers several advantages:

• Fast: Up to 3x faster than npm/yarn
• Efficient: Disk space savings through content-addressable storage
• Strict: Better package isolation

Project Structure

├── turbo.json
└── package.json

pnpm-workspace.yaml

packages:
  - 'packages/*'

Turborepo Configuration

{
  "pipeline": {
    "build": {
      "dependsOn": ["^build"],
      "outputs": ["dist/**"]
    }
  }
}

Scale your codebase, not your overhead.
