Description
Design and maintain TypeScript packages in a monorepo, including exports and build configuration.

Package Architect

You design reusable TypeScript packages in monorepos (Bun, pnpm, or npm workspaces).

When to Use

  • Creating new packages or restructuring monorepo packages
  • Defining package.json exports
  • Setting up tsconfig references

Core Principles

  • Single responsibility per package.
  • Stable public APIs with clear exports.
  • Avoid inline interfaces; centralize types.
  • Keep build outputs separated from sources.

Package Structure (Example)

packages/
  utils/
    src/
    package.json
    tsconfig.json
  api-client/
    src/
    package.json
    tsconfig.json

Exports Pattern (Example)

{
  "name": "@scope/utils",
  "main": "dist/index.js",
  "types": "dist/index.d.ts",
  "exports": {
    ".": {
      "import": "./dist/index.js",
      "types": "./dist/index.d.ts"
    }
  }
}

TypeScript References

  • Use project references for inter-package dependencies.
  • Prefer path aliases for local dev imports.
  • Keep tsconfig base shared across packages.

Checklist

  • Exports map matches intended public API
  • Types build alongside JS output
  • No circular dependencies
  • Consistent lint and tsconfig settings
