Turborepo Setup Summary

This document summarizes the Turborepo configuration improvements made to the xtablo monorepo.

Overview

The monorepo now has a clear, efficient Turborepo setup with:

• Source-only packages (@xtablo/shared, @xtablo/ui) - no build step needed
• Smart caching for all tasks (build, test, lint, typecheck)
• Clear task dependencies and parallel execution
• Comprehensive documentation for all workflows

Key Changes

1. Turborepo Configuration (turbo.json)

Improvements:

• Added explicit inputs for better cache invalidation
• Removed unnecessary ^build dependencies for dev, typecheck, and test tasks
• Added outputLogs configuration for cleaner output
• Added test:watch task for interactive testing

Task Configuration:

• build: Only apps build, packages are source-only
• dev: No dependencies, instant start with HMR
• lint, format, typecheck, test: Run independently without waiting for builds

2. Package Configuration

Shared Package (packages/shared/package.json)

• Removed: build, dev, clean scripts
• Kept: lint, lint:fix, format, typecheck
• Exports: Point directly to TypeScript source files in src/

UI Package (packages/ui/package.json)

• Removed: build, dev, clean scripts
• Kept: lint, lint:fix, format, typecheck
• Exports: Point directly to TypeScript source files in src/

TypeScript Configuration

• Removed composite, incremental, and outDir from package tsconfigs
• Packages don't output built files anymore

3. Root Scripts (package.json)

Added:

• build:apps - Build only applications
• dev:main - Run main app only
• dev:external - Run external app only
• lint:fix - Fix linting issues across all packages
• test:watch - Run tests in watch mode

Removed:

• build:packages - No longer needed
• clean:packages - No longer needed

4. App Scripts

Main App (apps/main/package.json):

• Added clean script to remove build artifacts

External App (apps/external/package.json):

• Added clean script to remove build artifacts

5. Documentation

Created comprehensive documentation:

1. DEVELOPMENT.md (267 lines)

   • Complete development guide
   • Package development workflow
   • Troubleshooting section
   • CI/CD considerations

2. TURBO_CHEATSHEET.md

   • Quick reference for common commands
   • Turbo filter examples
   • Common workflows
   • Troubleshooting tips

3. Updated README.md

   • Simplified quick start
   • References to detailed documentation
   • Updated commands and structure

Benefits

Performance

• ⚡ Faster dev startup: No package build step required
• 🔥 Instant HMR: Vite hot-reloads package changes immediately
• 📦 Smaller cache: No package build artifacts to cache

Developer Experience

• 🎯 Simpler workflow: Just pnpm dev to start
• 📚 Clear documentation: Three levels of docs (README, DEVELOPMENT, CHEATSHEET)
• 🧹 Less complexity: Fewer build steps to manage

Maintainability

• 🔧 Fewer moving parts: Source-only packages are simpler
• 📝 Better DX: TypeScript types always in sync
• 🚀 Future-proof: Modern bundler-native approach

Quick Commands

# Development
pnpm dev              # Start all apps
pnpm dev:main         # Start main app

# Build
pnpm build            # Build all apps
pnpm build:apps       # Same as above

# Quality
pnpm typecheck        # Type check everything
pnpm lint             # Lint everything
pnpm lint:fix         # Fix linting issues
pnpm test             # Run all tests
pnpm test:watch       # Run tests in watch mode

# Cleanup
pnpm clean            # Clean build artifacts

Migration Notes

If you have existing dist/ folders in packages:

rm -rf packages/*/dist packages/*/tsconfig.tsbuildinfo

No other migration is needed - packages now export source files directly.

Next Steps

1. Run pnpm install to ensure workspace links are updated
2. Run pnpm typecheck to verify everything compiles
3. Run pnpm dev to start development
4. Read DEVELOPMENT.md for detailed workflows
