SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Turborepo unifies and accelerates task execution across a multi-repo JavaScript/TypeScript workspace by caching outputs and parallelizing work, reducing redundant builds.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Centralized task orchestration across apps and packages with per-package caching
  • Supports dependsOn, inputs, outputs, env, and remote caching for CI
  • Use cases include CI optimization, PR validation, and development workflows with watch

Quick Start

Create per-package tasks in each package's package.json and a root turbo.json, then run turbo run across the workspace to orchestrate cached, parallel builds.

FAQPage Schema
How do I speed up monorepo builds with caching and parallel task execution?

Monorepo build automation caches task outputs and parallelizes execution across packages to skip redundant work. Configure turbo.json with per-package tasks, inputs, and outputs to orchestrate cached builds across JavaScript and TypeScript workspaces.

How do I configure turbo.json for task dependencies and environment variables?

Configure turbo.json by defining dependsOn, inputs, outputs, and env keys for each task. This maps per-package package.json scripts into orchestrated workspace pipelines, ensuring correct execution order and cache isolation for builds, tests, and linting.

Can I use remote caching for CI optimization in a JavaScript monorepo?

Remote caching optimizes CI by sharing cached task outputs across machines. Enable it in your turborepo configuration to skip redundant builds during PR validation, accelerating CI pipelines for JavaScript and TypeScript projects.

What is the best way to orchestrate lint and type checking across multiple packages?

Orchestrating lint and type checking across multiple packages is best handled by centralized task execution. Define the tasks in package.json files and run them via turbo, which caches outputs and runs independent checks in parallel.

Does turborepo work with development workflows using watch mode?

Turborepo supports development workflows with watch mode for continuous task execution. It orchestrates persistent tasks across JavaScript and TypeScript packages, streamlining local development by running dependent watchers in parallel.

When do I need to define inputs and outputs for monorepo task caching?

Define inputs and outputs for monorepo task caching to control cache invalidation and persistence. Specifying these in turbo.json ensures that builds and tests only re-run when relevant source files change, maximizing cache hits.
