What is the best way to structure a pnpm workspace?

A good pnpm workspace structure typically involves a root package.json file and separate folders for each package. This allows for better organization and dependency management.

Can you give me an example of a directory structure?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

my-workspace/
├── package.json
├── packages/
│   ├── package-a/
│   │   └── package.json
│   └── package-b/
│       └── package.json
└── apps/
    ├── app-a/
    │   └── package.json
    └── app-b/
        └── package.json

This structure separates your packages and applications clearly.

How do I add a new package to this structure?

You can add a new package by creating a new folder under the packages directory and adding a package.json file there. Then, run pnpm install to link it to your workspace.

What are the benefits of using pnpm for workspaces?

Using pnpm for workspaces helps in saving disk space, improves installation speed, and ensures consistent dependency versions across packages.
