SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Coordinate client and server maintenance in a monorepo deployment, simplifying cross-layer debugging and dependency management.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Unified client-server workflow in a single monorepo, ensuring dependencies stay aligned across Next.js and Express.
  • Guided tasks to install, update, or fix runtime issues in either the client (Next.js) or the server (Express) subprojects.
  • Clear constraints for the monorepo layout (git root inside client/) and deterministic builds with the workspace tooling.

Quick Start

Instruct the AI to install or update the requested package in the correct subdirectory (client/ or server/), then run the build to verify a clean deployment.

FAQPage Schema
How do I manage dependencies in a Next.js and Express monorepo?

Manage dependencies in a Next.js and Express monorepo by installing or updating packages in the correct client or server subdirectory, then running a build to verify a clean deployment across the pnpm workspace.

Why does my pnpm workspace build fail when updating shared client-server logic?

A pnpm workspace build fails when shared client-server logic is updated if dependencies are not installed in the correct subdirectory, requiring deterministic build verification through root configuration to ensure a clean deployment.

What is the correct layout for a Next.js and Express monorepo deployment?

The correct layout for a Next.js and Express monorepo deployment places the git root inside the client directory, applying monorepo layout constraints and using pnpm workspaces to manage cross-package dependencies.

Does this approach work for syncing shared API logic between frontend and backend?

Yes, this approach works for syncing shared API logic between frontend and backend by coordinating client and server maintenance in a monorepo deployment to streamline cross-layer changes and align dependencies.
