Paraglide JS Turborepo setup

[IAPBenediktZwoelfer]

Hey guys i wanted to start using paraglide js in my Turborepo. There is no minimal example available and i am not sure if this works as expected because it uses git for the web ui. In the docs they write the config files must be in the root of the project but because i am using this only for one of many apps, i would not set this up in the root, but in one app instead. Does somebody have experience with that setup? Thanks!

Setting it up in one App works just fine. By "the root" we mean the root of the current project.

|- package.json
|- turbo.json
|- packages/
    |- my-app/
        |- project.inlang
        |- package.json

Thanks for the reply! Ok i just tried to setup everything, seems to work in my project but when i tried to link it here: Link, it gives me an error "No project.inlang.json file found in the repository.". I put in the link like:
https://github.com/company/repo/tree/main/apps/app-name

EDIT: I tried with a project.inlang directory with a settings.json and with a project.inlang.json
EDIT 2: I also tried the VSCode extension "inlang – Supercharge i18n in VS Code" but it seems like it does not work too

Hmm. That's a bug, I'll open an issue.
In the meantime you can follow the manual installation instructions on the right. Sorry about that

[IAPBenediktZwoelfer]

I cannot find the manual installation. On the link there is no section on the right. Thanks a lot!

Sorry, there was redesign in the middle of our conversation 😅

Currently, the web editor doesn't support monorepos properly. This is something we want to fix asap, since we too are working in a monorepo.
For now you have two options.

• put the Inlang project at the root of your monorepo (what we're doing right now)
• Don't use the webeditor

You can "manually" install any plugins & lint rules by adding their jsdelivr links to the "modules" field in your settings.json. You can get the link by searching for the given pugin on JsDelivr's website.

Very sorry for the inconvenience

Great to hear! Thanks a lot for your help I really appreciate it :) For now i am fine to just use the json file. I chose this project because it will allow my team to make changes in the text or even add new languages in the Webeditor which is amazing! So im really looking forward into that. I don't really wanna use it in the root project because i am planning on using two different instances of paraglide in two of the apps. The reason for that is that one app (kinda like an admin panel) is very simple and the language is not that important because people can use them in English if their language is not supported). In this app the customers can create digital products. The other app is that digital products which is used in marketing, so its extremely important to get the language correct there. We even have multiple versions of German (formal, informal), English (uk, us, ...), so the customer can address their users accordingly. As you can imagine, mixing these two system into one is not really possible, and messes everything up. So now you got my use case maybe this helps for further development :) Thanks!

Thanks! It's always really helpful to know what people want to use our tools for. It really helps us built what's needed.
We'll try to cover your use-case soon, since working in a monorepo is really common.
Sorry that we aren't quite there yet.

Quick update:
While the web editor doesn't support monorepos yet, support is coming to the IDE extension & it's looking really promising.
See: #1879 (comment)

The web editor now supports monorepos: #1935
