What's inside?

This Turborepo includes the following packages/apps:

Apps and Packages

  • docs: a Next.js app
  • web: an Epic-Stack Remix app
  • @repo/ui: a stub React component library shared by both web and docs applications
  • @repo/eslint-config: eslint configurations (includes eslint-config-next and eslint-config-prettier)
  • @repo/typescript-config: tsconfig.jsons used throughout the monorepo

Each package/app is 100% TypeScript.

Utilities

This Turborepo has some additional tools already setup for you:

Build

To build all apps and packages, run the following command:

pnpm build

You should probably run pnpm run prebuild if necessary.

Develop

To develop all apps and packages, run the following command:

cd my-turborepo
pnpm dev

Run commands for a specific app or package

Package or app name is the package.json "name"

pnpm run build --filter web

Run dev:

pnpm run dev --filter docs

Deployment

For monorepos, you'll probably want to handle deployments separately for each app. The common practice is to use Dockerfiles and the guiding principle is:

  1. Each app should be deployable independent of the monorepo. Avoid COPY files from the root packages or other apps.
  2. The Dockerfile should always work in the context of the root workspace. This helps with CI/CD where we run docker commands especially the docker build context.

Remote Caching

Turborepo can use a technique known as Remote Caching to share cache artifacts across machines, enabling you to share build caches with your team and CI/CD pipelines.

By default, Turborepo will cache locally. To enable Remote Caching you will need an account with Vercel. If you don't have an account you can create one, then enter the following commands:

cd my-turborepo
npx turbo login

This will authenticate the Turborepo CLI with your Vercel account.

Next, you can link your Turborepo to your Remote Cache by running the following command from the root of your Turborepo:

npx turbo link
