What is a monorepo?
A monorepo is a single repository containing multiple projects or packages. Tools like Turborepo and Nx optimize building, testing, and deployment in this setup.
Turborepo
Developed by Vercel. Focuses on simplicity and speed. Uses intelligent caching to avoid重复 work. Minimal configuration.
{
"$schema": "https://turbo.build/schema.json",
"pipeline": {
"build": {
"dependsOn": ["^build"],
"outputs": ["dist/**"]
},
"test": {},
"lint": {}
}
}
Nx
Developed by Nrwl. More complete and opinionated. Offers code generators, automatic updates, visual dependency graph, and deep framework integration.
Key differences
| Aspect | Turborepo | Nx | |--------|-----------|-----| | Learning curve | Low | Medium-high | | Caching | Remote (Vercel) | Remote (Nx Cloud) | | Generators | No | Yes | | Dependency graph | CLI | Visual | | Plugins | Few | Many |
Which to choose?
Choose Turborepo for simplicity if you already use Vercel. Choose Nx if you need generators, automatic migrations, or work with large teams.
