What problem does it solve?

Manages and speeds up dependency installation in large monorepos by centralizing packages in a content-addressable store, dramatically reducing disk usage and network traffic.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Monorepo support: workspace-based installation and linking of internal packages via the workspace protocol.
  • Content-addressable store: shared cache that minimizes disk space and accelerates installs across projects.
  • Catalogs & Overrides: centralized version management for consistent dependencies across packages.
  • Patching support: patching workflow to apply fixes to third-party packages within the workspace.

Quick Start

Install dependencies with pnpm and start the workspace to run all packages in parallel.

FAQPage Schema
How do I manage dependencies in a Node.js monorepo to reduce disk usage and install times?β–Ό

Manage Node.js monorepo dependencies by centralizing packages in a content-addressable store. This shared cache minimizes disk space and network traffic by linking packages globally instead of duplicating them locally.

How do I link internal packages within a monorepo workspace?β–Ό

Link internal packages within a monorepo workspace using the workspace protocol. Workspace-based installation connects internal packages defined in your pnpm-workspace.yaml configuration for parallel development across frontend and backend.

What is the best way to enforce consistent dependency versions across multiple monorepo packages?β–Ό

Enforce consistent dependency versions across multiple monorepo packages using catalogs and overrides. Centralized version management ensures uniform dependencies throughout the workspace via pnpm-workspace.yaml configuration.

Can I apply patches to third-party packages in a pnpm workspace?β–Ό

Apply patches to third-party packages in a pnpm workspace using the built-in patching workflow. The pnpm patch feature allows you to apply fixes directly to external dependencies within your monorepo environment.

Does pnpm workspaces support strict dependency resolution to prevent phantom dependencies?β–Ό

pnpm workspaces support strict dependency resolution to prevent phantom dependencies. This ensures packages only access dependencies explicitly declared in their manifest, maintaining strict isolation across frontend, backend, and tooling.
