Lerna (📦)

Lerna is a tool for managing JavaScript projects with multiple packages in a monorepo. It helps with managing dependencies, versioning, and publishing.

Key Features of Lerna

  • Package Management: Manage interdependencies between packages in a monorepo.
  • Versioning: Automates versioning of packages across the monorepo.
  • Publishing: Publish packages to npm with a single command.

Example Setup

To get started with Lerna:

npx lerna init
lerna bootstrap

Lerna is another tool that is commonly used for managing monorepos, but it’s slightly different from tools like NX and Turborepo. While Lerna focuses on managing JavaScript projects within a monorepo, its feature set is less opinionated about structure and more focused on managing dependencies and versioning.

  • Lerna is all about managing packages in a monorepo.
