scopes/ # re-exports scopes module from commons package
conditionals/ # provides tools for easily formulating complex conditionals and deduplication rules
api/ # provides an API wrapper for OpenCRVS APIs with strict typing and validation
# tsconfig.json references commons. when `tsc --build` is run, both are built.

When adding internal package as dependency, understand that:
Toolkit "re-exports" TRPC router to allow for easy client interaction.
Toolkit "re-exports" common definitions (e.g. events, conditionals) and make them available through npm.
package.jsonyarn build:allnpm publishpackage.jsonpackages/commons must be also defined in the package.json of the toolkit. Otherwise someone installing the package will get errors./events, /scopes directory, with types, from packages/commons through the library, others are excluded.esbuild. See build.sh on how to expose subdirectories:# Build common events
npx esbuild src/events/index.ts --bundle --format=cjs --outdir=./dist/events --allow-overwrite --packages=external
mkdir -p ./dist/commons/events
cp -r ../commons/build/dist/common/events/*.d.ts ./dist/commons/events
mkdir -p ./dist/commons/events/state # <-- create the subdirectory
cp -r ../commons/build/dist/common/events/state/*.d.ts ./dist/commons/events/state # <-- copy the types over
