Pin local versions to pnpm workspace:*

Pin local versions to pnpm workspace:*

Add a Pinned Version Group so that local packages are always installed using workspace:* when they are used in devDependencies.

• 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.
• pinVersion states that these dependencies must always use workspace:*.

{
  "versionGroups": [
    {
      "label": "Use workspace protocol when developing local packages",
      "dependencies": [
        "@your-repo/node-client-plugin-retry",
        "@your-repo/node-client",
        "dashboard-ui"
      ],
      "dependencyTypes": ["dev"],
      "pinVersion": "workspace:*"
    }
  ]
}

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"
],
