Help with monorepo

hey,

i want to setup a monorepo (lerna) with vite and vue3 and i can´t find any working solutions. The main problem is to consume the local repos in development and benefit from vites fast hot-reloading and all the other sugar it gives to us. I played with optimizeDeps.link and rollup alias but cannot figure out an acceptable setup without hacky parts.

Can anyone please give an example how this is done right?

My folder structure looks like this:

project-root/
    lerna.json
    packages/
        example-ui/
            index.html
            vite.config.ts
            ....
        ui/
            modules/
                common/
                    src/comp.vue
                    package.json
                dashboard/
                    src/dashboard.vue
                    package.json
                .../

THX for the great work!

Hello guys, i’m coming to this thread referenced from #1554 where @yyx990803 call my attention to here. Would be great a cli tool to produce multi apps/libs and keep compatibility with vite-cli. Current i’m doing some research and prototyping with vite. Instead of using lerna (nothing against it, pretty good tool) but i would like to enrich vue/vite ecosystem with a tool more or less like nx.dev does to angular. I will leave here a idea spec for further discussion. This approach have some history (long a bit) that what i saw in many companies that follow lerna approach for multi vue apps and most of them regret on that decision.

1. Make sure you have your local linked packages also listed in your example (vite) package’s dependencies list
2. If listed, Vite 2 will auto detect linked packages and you shouldn’t need to use optimizeDeps.link
3. If your ui module packages define entry points to built files in their package.json, you will need to configure an alias in the example project to redirect to their source entry instead.

We should probably provide some documentation for this. /cc @LinusBorg @csr632 @AlexandreBonaventure who I know have been using Vite in monorepos
