Monorepo Support

General guidelines

While Sheriff can technically be used at the root of monorepos, it's not recommended.

Sheriff works best when applied to individual packages within a monorepo.

Usage in VSCode

To make use of the ESLint VScode extension in monorepos, use the eslint.workingDirectories setting.

Setup with Scaffolder in a monorepo

If you want to use the Scaffolder to bootstrap Sheriff in one of your workspace's packages, you can actually do so by following the general usage rules of workspaces, Sheriff will try to mimic the behaviour of popular monorepo CLI tools, so it will feel seamless, intuitive and familiar.

Run the Scaffolder from the root of your monorepo, and then filter by the workspace you want to apply Sheriff to. A chain of prompts will start to guide you through the correct process of installation.

Example

npm init @sherifforg/config --filter=path/to/my/package

pnpm create @sherifforg/config --filter=path/to/my/package

yarn create @sherifforg/config --filter=path/to/my/package

bunx @sherifforg/create-config --filter path/to/my/package
