Apps Monorepo

This is a monorepo of all of Intectum's internal TypeScript projects. It includes VanillaJS websites, React Native apps, Firebase backends etc.

Structure

This monorepo uses npm workspaces. The following is a list of all the workspaces included:

• apps
  • homa-and-mukto: the Homa & Mukto app
  • intectum-website: the intectum website
  • vaga-*: components of the Vaga project
• packages
  • apps-core: core functions
  • apps-firebase: common firebase functions
  • apps-mobile: common react native components, hooks etc.
  • apps-web: common web functions
  • vaga-core: common functions for the Vaga project

Firebase

The easiest way I found to build Firebase projects within the monorepo that are ready for deployment was to use ncc instead of the default tsc

React Native

A few modifications were needed to get React Native working within the monorepo:

1. A symlink to the monorepo's node_modules folder must be created in the root of the React Native project
2. Any dependencies from apps-mobile that have a native component must be added to the dependencies of the React Native project's package.json with a version of * file (this allows React Native to recognise that the project uses them and configure the project correctly)
3. Metro must be configured (metro.config.js) to watch the root folder of the monorepo (this allows Metro to resolve and watch files from the monorepo's node_modules folder as well as all the of package workspaces)
4. Android's settings.gradle file must be modified so that the relative paths to the node_modules folder point to the monorepo's node_modules folder (this is not needed to get the project to build via the CLI but Android Studio requires it to build the project correctly, I guess it cannot follow the symlink)
