SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automates monorepo task orchestration and caching across multiple packages.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Defines per-package tasks and root tasks with proper caching, parallel execution, and selective scoping.
  • Guides the configuration of turbo.json, package configurations, and environment handling to optimize CI and local development.
  • Supports advanced patterns like affected builds, transit nodes, and boundaries to improve maintainability and performance in multi-repo workspaces.

Quick Start

Create a turbo.json at the repository root and add optional package-specific turbo.json overrides to enable per-package tasks, parallelization, and caching.

FAQPage Schema
How do I configure monorepo task pipelines for caching and parallel execution?

To configure monorepo task pipelines, create a turbo.json file at your repository root to define per-package tasks with caching, parallel execution, and selective scoping rules. You can add optional package-specific overrides to enable granular task orchestration and optimize CI workflows.

What is the best way to optimize CI builds in a JavaScript monorepo?

The best way to optimize CI builds in a JavaScript monorepo is to automate task orchestration with caching across multiple packages. By defining tasks and environment handling in turbo.json, you enable parallel execution and selective scoping to significantly reduce build times.

How do affected builds work in a monorepo workspace?

Affected builds in a monorepo workspace work by selectively scoping task execution to only the packages impacted by recent changes. This advanced pattern improves maintainability and performance by skipping unaffected transit nodes during local development and CI pipelines.

Can I define per-task configuration rules for dependencies and outputs?

Yes, you can define per-task configuration rules including dependsOn, outputs, inputs, and env variables. These settings are specified within your turbo.json to establish precise task pipelines, manage caching behavior, and control execution order across your packages.

How do I manage environment variables and inputs for monorepo caching?

You manage environment variables and inputs for monorepo caching by configuring the env and inputs fields within your task definitions. This ensures that Turborepo accurately tracks dependencies and invalidates caches appropriately when environment configurations change.
