We have talked previously about creating a multi-package typesript project using only node’s workspace feature. This could be considered as a monorepo where you’d have an application with some libraries. However, if you want to scale up, this simple setup may not be enough.

That’s why today I am looking into Nx, which is a tool that helps you build and manage your monorepo! It’s js based (written in typescript), but it can also take care of multiple languages like Kotlin, Go, and Python.

I have come across the Nx monorepo tools website which explains the reasoning behind using monorepo and, enumerates the different tools available for monorepo management. So check it out, for more information! (though since it’s from Nx, you might be biased into using it).

It needs to be installed globally or the CLI might get stuck. You may need other plugins for different languages, but they don’t need to be installed globally and can be added once the monorepo is created.
