What are some advanced features of npm workspaces?

Npm workspaces allow you to manage multiple packages within a single repository. Some advanced features include dependency hoisting, script running across workspaces, and workspace-specific configurations.

Can you explain dependency hoisting in more detail?

Sure! Dependency hoisting means that npm will install shared dependencies at the root level of your workspace, rather than in each individual package. This reduces duplication and saves space.

How do I run scripts across all workspaces?

You can run scripts across all workspaces by using the command npm run <script-name> --workspaces. This will execute the specified script in each workspace.

Are there any limitations I should be aware of?

Yes, some limitations include potential version conflicts between workspaces and the need for a compatible npm version. It's also important to manage workspace dependencies carefully.
