TypeScript monorepo with Rush.js, with at least one package, leveraging Jest, Plop, Just, Just Scripts.

In documentation, about stacks-monorepo, it says

Just uses the Rush library to manage monorepos.

When I follow the steps, it doesn’t.

Intention

I am willing to make a PR to support this use-case (without breaking the use of Lerna or Beachball). This is to know if there are plans to support such use-case.

Reproduction repo

Use-Case: Have a TypeScript monorepo (ideally with Rush, because it is now my new favourite over Lerna), with at least one item, process to run tests, plop files, and run tests.

See: https://github.com/renoirb/experiments-201908-just-plop-typescript-monorepo-rushjs

Steps:

npm init just
cd monorepo-created
npm run gen
# ...

But I’ve had to change things a bit after that so I could get to to work. (not visible in Git history)

Rush is actually technically superior in that it provides a lot out of the box. Lerna is missing the following:

1. automated semver via change files (Lerna uses commit messages which is meh)
2. incremental builds

That said, the change file automated versioning has been filled by another piece of software called beachball. Incremental builds is another matter - just-task has support for this and could be used to help speed things up.

The issue I found with Rush centers around the fact that it doesn’t actually have as big of install base amongst the most popular monorepos out there. We actually have found both to be good solutions, but the purpose of the just-stack-monorepo is to get new users up and running with very familiar tools. We could use a just-stack-rush-monorepo as well to make sure those who want to use Rush has a good starting point as well.
