SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Turborepo provides a scalable way to orchestrate tasks across multi-package repositories, solving the complexity of dependency graphs, caching, and parallel execution.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Package-scoped tasks and root tasks, enabling per-package caching and fine-grained parallelism
  • Task graph concepts like dependsOn, outputs, inputs, and global options to optimize builds in CI and dev
  • Package Configurations to tailor behavior per package and extend root configuration
  • Use cases include monorepo teams with apps and libraries needing efficient builds, cache sharing, and selective task execution
  • Example: define turbo.json in root and per-package turbo.json overrides to align with framework needs

Quick Start

Tell me to generate a Turborepo config for a monorepo and I will produce a per-package turbo.json structure and a sample turbo run that validates caching and parallelism.

FAQPage Schema
How do I configure Turborepo for a monorepo with per-package caching?

Turborepo configures monorepo builds by generating a root turbo.json and per-package overrides. This defines package-scoped tasks, dependency graphs, and outputs to enable efficient caching and parallel execution across apps and libraries.

Why are my monorepo cached builds invalidating incorrectly in CI?

Incorrect cache invalidation in CI usually stems from missing inputs or environment variables in turbo.json. Turborepo validates setup by enforcing proper global options, env variables, and dependency rules to guard against common caching pitfalls.

What is the best way to structure task dependencies for parallel execution in a monorepo?

The best way to structure parallel execution is using the dependsOn property within turbo.json. This builds a task graph that orchestrates package-level tasks, enabling fine-grained parallelism and correct execution order across your monorepo.

Can I use package configurations to tailor build behavior for specific apps in a monorepo?

Yes, package configurations allow you to tailor behavior per package and extend root configuration. You can define per-package turbo.json files to align with specific framework needs while maintaining root-level caching rules and global options.

How do monorepo task graphs improve local development and CI build times?

Monorepo task graphs improve build times by enabling selective task execution and cache sharing. By mapping package dependencies and outputs, the system skips redundant work and executes tasks in parallel during local development and CI.

When do I need to define explicit outputs in a Turborepo configuration?

You need to define explicit outputs in turbo.json when tasks generate build artifacts that should be cached. Specifying outputs ensures Turborepo correctly stores and retrieves these files during selective task execution and cache invalidation.
