Getting Started

Make sure if Node 14+ is installed on your computer.

Step 1: Create a new Lerna workspace by running:

$ cd /{your_directory}/monorepo-react-template
$ npx lerna init

Step 2: Install dependencies

$ npm install

Step 3: To open the visualization, run:

$ npx nx graph

Step 4: To build all projects, run

$ npm run cra:init
$ npx lerna run build

or Build the package you want (recommend):

$ npm run cra:init
$ npx lerna run build --scope=plugin-1 --scope=plugin-2 --scope=plugin-component

Please do not install lerna globally to use lerna run build

⚠️ Note 1

Make sure that packages/plugin-component is copied to node_modules, Because packages/plugin-1 depends on the packages/plugin-component.

⚠️ Note 2

projects in packages/ should not include the node_modules/ folder

The scripts configuration of the project in the packages needs to support the global, for example, the react-scripts command does not exist. You need to install it globally first. The same goes for other commands.

$ sudo npm install --g react-scripts

the same to:

$ sudo npm install --g webpack webpack-cli

⚠️ Note 3

Project dependencies in packages other than packages/front-end should be configured in the package.json file in the root directory.

⚠️ Note 4

If the npm package installation fails, execute the following command and then install it

$ sudo npm cache clean --force

or

$ sudo chown -R 501:20 "/Users/<YOUR_USER_NAME>/.npm"

⚠️ Note 5

Failure Logs:

NX dlopen(/<package_name>/node_modules/@nrwl/nx-darwin-x64/nx.darwin-x64.node, 1): no suitable image found. Did find:

/<package_name>/node_modules/@nrwl/nx-darwin-x64/nx.darwin-x64.node: cannot load 'nx.darwin-x64.node' (load command 0x80000034 is unknown)
/<package_name>/node_modules/@nrwl/nx-darwin-x64/nx.darwin-x64.node: cannot load 'nx.darwin-x64.node' (load command 0x80000034 is unknown)

If the above error occurs, please make sure that the nx package, that is, node_modules/@nrwl version is 15.7.2, versions above 15.8.x cannot run lerna and nx commands correctly.

⚙️ Custom Configuration of Build

Excluding dependencies from the output bundles, you could change the package.json like this:

The buildConfig property will be linked to the Webpack configuration.

{
    ...
    "buildConfig": {
        "externals": {
            "react": "React",
            "react-dom": "ReactDOM"
        }
    },
    ...
}

If you want to cancel the external files setting, please change it to:

{
    ...
    "buildConfig": {
        "externals": ""
    },
    ...
}
