Manage dependencies

As the package manager we chose pnpm.

Install a package

To install a package to the supastarter monorepo you need to decide whether you want to install it to the root of the monorepo or to a specific workspace. Installing it to the root makes it available to all packages, while installing it to a specific workspace makes it available only to that workspace.

To install a package globally, run:

pnpm add -w <package-name>

To install a package to a specific workspace, run:

pnpm add --filter <workspace-name> <package-name>

Here is a list of the workspaces of supastarter:

• web
• api
• auth
• database
• mail
• eslint-config-custom
• tsconfig
• tailwind
• utils

Remove a package

Removing a package is the same as installing but with the remove command.

To remove a package globally, run:

pnpm remove -w <package-name>

To remove a package to a specific workspace, run:

pnpm remove --filter <workspace-name> <package-name>

Update a package

Updating is a bit easier since there is a nice way to update a package in all workspaces at once:

pnpm update -r <package-name>
