pnpm

Content-addressable store, strict deps, workspace protocol, catalogs.

When to Use

Installing/managing npm packages
Monorepo workspace setup with catalogs
Overriding transitive dependencies
Patching third-party packages
CI/CD configuration for pnpm projects
Supply chain security hardening

Quick Start

pnpm install                      # Install deps
pnpm add <pkg>                    # Add dep
pnpm add -D <pkg>                 # Dev dep
pnpm -r run build                 # Run in all packages
pnpm --filter @myorg/app build    # Run in specific package

Workspace Setup

# pnpm-workspace.yaml
packages:
  - 'packages/*'
  - 'apps/*'

# Catalogs for centralized version management
catalog:
  react: ^18.2.0
  typescript: ~5.3.0

// package.json - Use workspace protocol and catalogs
{
  "packageManager": "pnpm@10.28.2",
  "dependencies": {
    "@myorg/utils": "workspace:^",
    "react": "catalog:"
  }
}

Reference Files

Task	File
Commands, scripts, filtering	cli.md
Workspaces, catalogs, config	workspaces.md
Overrides, patches, hooks, store	features.md
CI/CD, Docker, migration	ci.md

Loading Files

Consider loading these reference files based on your task:

references/cli.md - if using pnpm commands, scripts, or filtering
references/workspaces.md - if setting up monorepo, catalogs, or workspace config
references/features.md - if using overrides, patches, hooks, or managing store
references/ci.md - if configuring CI/CD, Docker, or migrating from npm/yarn

DO NOT load all files at once. Load only what's relevant to your current task.

Verify Setup

After configuring a workspace, verify it works:

pnpm install          # Install all deps
pnpm ls --depth 0     # Verify workspace links
pnpm -r run build     # Build all packages
