Ensure that semver ranges for a dependency all match each other

Ensure that semver ranges for a dependency all match each other

Add a Same Range Version Group which allows local packages installed in devDependencies or peerDependencies to use different semver ranges, as long as they all match the local package version.

• An optional label can be added to document the rule.
• The dependencies array defines the names of the dependencies we want to target.
• dependencyTypes results in these dependencies only being targeted by this group when they are located in devDependencies or peerDependencies.
• The policy of sameRange states that these dependencies are considered valid if every range matches the others.

{
  "versionGroups": [
    {
      "label": "Ensure semver ranges for locally developed packages satisfy the local version",
      "dependencies": [
        "@your-repo/node-client-plugin-retry",
        "@your-repo/node-client",
        "dashboard-ui"
      ],
      "dependencyTypes": ["dev", "peer"],
      "policy": "sameRange"
    }
  ]
}

The above example can be shortened: The $LOCAL keyword is a helper to avoid writing out the names of every local package.

"dependencies": [
  "$LOCAL"
  "@your-repo/node-client-plugin-retry",
  "@your-repo/node-client",
  "dashboard-ui"
],
