README

lerna-isolate

Extract your app or lib as npm package from lerna repository with local/private package dependencies ready to be shipped to your server. Very helpful when using Continuous deployment with lerna and Docker bundling.

What does this do

Let's say you have multiple packages in your monorepo and they depend on some local packages. There is an example of the minimal monorepo. Lerna isolate will put outputs into your lerna root dist directory, so make sure you've got it in .gitignore.

├── lerna.json
├── node_modules
├── package.json
├── package-lock.json
└── packages
    ├── lib1 (published to npm repo)
    ├── lib2 (private)
    └── app

Also, let's say that app depends on lib1 and lib2.

Problems

  1. You can't deploy the app before lib1 is published to registry
  2. You can't deploy the app without lib2, which is a private package

Solution

Bundle it together.

lerna-isolate bundle app

The isolation script will bundle only packages that are not available in the configured npm registry. It also changes package.json and package-lock.json inside the package.

The output will be npm packed package compressed as tgz.

Installation

Either install this globally

npm -g install lerna-isolate

Or just use npx

npx lerna-isolate

Usage

Leverage the CLI text help for your convenience.

Produce extracted outputs

This is useful when you want to examine contents of the isolated build.

lerna-isolate bundle -e

Produce zip

Sometimes, it is more useful to produce zip file instead of npm package. One example could be that you're uploading Google Cloud Platform Function archive. Private dependencies are still bundled in.

lerna-isolate bundle -e
