How do npm workspaces handle dependencies?

Npm workspaces allow you to manage multiple packages within a single repository. Dependencies can be defined in each package's package.json, and npm will install them accordingly.

Can I share dependencies between workspaces?

Yes, you can share dependencies by defining them in the root package.json. This way, all workspaces can access them without needing to install them separately.

What happens if two workspaces have conflicting dependencies?

In case of conflicts, npm will install the version specified in the workspace's package.json. However, if the root has a different version, it may lead to multiple versions being installed.

Is there a way to update dependencies for all workspaces at once?

Yes, you can use the npm update command at the root level to update dependencies for all workspaces simultaneously.
