project-references-migration

Migrate a TypeScript monorepo to project references by inventorying package graphs and tsconfig chains, then guiding incremental pilots from leaf packages upward to ensure faster builds and stricter boundaries.

TypeScript project references improve multi-package workspaces by enabling faster builds, enforcing stricter package boundaries, and ensuring editor go-to-definition reliability across the monorepo.

Start a project references migration safely by selecting a low-risk leaf package, verifying its boundaries, and applying incremental changes using a checklist-based workflow with enforced composite mode and safety guards.

Yes, migrating to TypeScript project references requires composite mode and declaration outputs, along with rootDir and outDir alignment, to maintain real references and reliable editor navigation across the workspace.

Yes, you can incrementally apply project references across a workspace by expanding the migration upward from leaf packages, validating outputs, references, and editor navigation at each step.

Before starting a TypeScript project references migration, check tsconfig chain compatibility, verify rootDir and outDir alignment, and ensure package boundaries support the enforced composite mode and declaration outputs.
