Welcome to Unirepo
Unirepo is a blazing fast build system for JavaScript/TypeScript monorepos.
🤔 Why?
Primarily, I made Unirepo because I need to steer clear of duplicating code for various projects. I believe the purpose of software is to transform inputs or control flow into an output or product application regardless of programming languages, frameworks, and platforms used.
Aside from simplified code sharing between projects, the monorepo approach has countless advantages as well; including easy visibility, discoverability, standardization, refactoring, release management, and improved collaboration between team members.
Combining this architecture with React Native, and NextJS, we can deliver a staggering user experience on any platform in no time.
Challenges
Despite the benefits mentioned above, monorepos create several challenges. Changing a common code can impact many application components and the source conflicts can be difficult to merge. Deployment process can be more challenging. The benefits of monorepos outweigh their challenges. so keeping it simple and to the point is pivotal.
This monorepo is a major factor in reducing the time from idea to deployment.
Disclaimer
This is a new library, so there might be bugs. I'm using it in my apps so I expect that solving any issues will be in my interest.
