Synchronizes
package.json
fields and arbitrary files in a monorepo
- Auto-discovery of packages via
package.json
workspaces and/orlerna.json
- Optional manual control of destination packages
- Helpful defaults
- Detailed "dry run" mode
- Summary of operations
- Sync arbitrary files (e.g.
README.md
)
Requires Node.js ^14.17.0 || ^16.13.0 || >=18.0.0
npm install sync-monorepo-packages --save-dev
or
$ npx sync-monorepo-packages --help
Here, I have pasted the output of --help
because I am lazy:
sync-monorepo-packages [file..]
Synchronize files and metadata across packages in a monorepo
Positionals:
file One or more source files to sync [string]
Options:
--help Show help [boolean]
--version Show version number [boolean]
-D, --dry-run Do not sync; print what would have changed (implies
--verbose) [boolean]
-f, --field, --fields Fields in source package.json to sync [array] [default:
["keywords","author","repository","license","engines","publishConfig"]]
--force Overwrite destination file(s) [boolean]
-p, --packages Dirs/globs containing destination packages
[array] [default: (use workspaces and/or lerna.json)]
--package-json Sync package.json [boolean] [default: true]
-s, --source Path to source package.json
[string] [default: (closest package.json)]
-v, --verbose Print change details [boolean]
--summary Print summary [boolean] [default: true]
-l, --lerna Path to lerna.json, if any
[string] [default: (lerna.json in current dir)]
Examples:
sync-monorepo-packages --field keywords Sync "keywords" and "author" from
--field author -s ./foo/package.json ./foo/package.json to packages found
in lerna.json
sync-monorepo-packages --packages ./foo Using default fields, show what
--dry-run --no-summary would have synced from package.json
in current dir to packages in ./foo;
hide summary
sync-monorepo-packages --no-package-json Sync ./README.md to each package
./README.md found in lerna.json. Do not sync
anything in package.json

- If there are other fields which would make sense to copy as a default, please suggest!
- Use at your own risk!
--dry-run
is your friend - When copying files, directories may be created relative to the dirpath of
lerna.json
orpackage.json
. For example, if you want to syncfoo/bar.md
to each package,packages/*/foo/bar.md
will be the result. This may not work properly with explicitly-specified package directories! Use from project root to be sure. - There is an API that you can use. Go for it!
