Question

Hmm I m toying around with using SST in a monorepo and I think I d like to try this approach `apps` `services` `packages` and `infra` Each service should have its package json ` main ` point to an exported stack which may take dependencies as props Each app there will be two really web and mobile app similarly exports a main which is a stack well a mobile app doesn t a web one does Packages are libraries their `main` points to the library entrypoint and should be usable from any of the frontends or backends shared types configs validations go here `infra` basically contains the main SST index which ties the services and front ends together Thoughts sweat smile

So far its actually not looking bad at all though some explicit path passing needs to happen e g ` path` in sst env and some other pre resolved paths with `require resolve`

Gjorgji Kjosev · Answer

one bit to really make this neat is I believe someone mentioned it somewhere ` wait` in sst env which would let turborepo run `dev` in parallel in the infra and web app or infra + mobile app

to clarify on require resolve it looks something like this `const moduleDir = path dirname require resolve prject service name package json ` and then this is used to pass `srcPath` slightly smiling face

Any chance you can please share a sample open source repo of this set up Looks like a good idea and set up to me

Yep I was thinking of making a template after everything is smooth

Gjorgji Kjosev · Answer

currently debating whether to instead go with a flat package structure and have 2 packages per app service app and `app infra`

Gjorgji Kjosev · Answer

the stack in the app approach seems to work but I worry local app specific tsconfig eslint etc could interfere if present

Gjorgji Kjosev · Answer

had to go with a separate pkg for the stack that is pre built with tsc this is due to esbuild building a JS file that isn t able to `require` the typescript file outside of dev mode Still think its turning out pretty clean so far Will update once its ready

< Gjorgji Kjosev> I ve been using lerna ts monorepo with sst My starting point was this repo i think it s good starting point and I added sst stack to it I ve gone for `packages` `scripts` `stacks` at root with lerna
