Integrating with monorepos

Hypermod is specifically designed to play nicely with monorepos (AKA multi-package repositories, multi-project repositories, or monolithic repositories) such as Turborepo, Yarn, npm and pnpm workspaces and Lerna.

Configuration​

Configuring Hypermod in a monorepo can be done in the exact same way as any existing npm package, simply by adding hypermod.config.js files and codemods to your packages.

Given you are using a workspace-based monorepo, it's recommended to co-locate codemods with your package source files so they can be published as part of the package, for use by both external and internal users.

packages/
    button/
+        codemods/
+          1.0.0/
+           transform.ts
+           transform.spec.ts
+          2.0.0/
+          hypermod.config.js
        src/
            ...
        package.json
        rollup.config.json
        jest.config.js
    dialog/
    modal/

package.json

Hypermod config files can be located in either the root, /src or /codemods directory of a package.

packages/
    button/
+        codemods/
+          1.0.0/
+          2.0.0/
        src/
            ...
        package.json
        rollup.config.json
        jest.config.js
+       hypermod.config.js
    dialog/
    modal/

package.json

The structure or use of the /codemods directory is entirely up to you. Codemods can be located anywhere in the package as long as the config file correctly points to them.

See the configuration guide for help writing config files.

Initializing​

Hypermod provides a CLI to quickly codegen a working codemod package around your existing source files. To do so, run init with the --config-only flag, which will output a bare-bones configuration. If you provide a --transform or --preset it will also generate empty transform files in addition.

$ hypermod init --config-only --transform 10.0.0 --preset foobar packages/my-package

(Note: this script assumes you have installed @hypermod/cli globally)

The output of this command will give you a filestructure matching the above example.

Development​

When writing codemod(s) it's recommended to use a test-driven development approach before attempting to run on any real source code. Once you're confident that your codemod works as expected, you will likely want to manually verify against real code. That's where you can use the following command:

$ hypermod path/to/test/code.

When used at the root directory of your monorepo, the CLI will leverage your workspaces config located in your package.json to determine which codemods in the monorepo it can run.

ie:

{
  "name": "monorepo",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "workspaces": ["docs", "apps/*", "packages/*"]
}

And show an interactive list for you to search and can choose from.

Publishing​

The workflow to publishing your codemod enhanced packages should remain completely unchanged. However, it's important to verify that your hypermod.config.js and codemods are not ignored by npm (via .npmignore or similar) so that they are successfully published to the registry.

In some cases you may need to add these to the files property of your package's package.json like so:

{
  "name": "@monorepo/my-package",
  "version": "0.6.0",
  "main": "./dist/index.js",
  "files": ["dist", "src", "codemods", "hypermod.config.js"]
}

Running​

Running a codemod as a consumer can now be done via the @hypermod/cli, assuming your package is named @monorepo/my-package and your codemod is 1.0.0:

$ hypermod --packages @monorepo/my-package@1.0.0 /path/to/source

You can even omit the codemod name to be prompted with all codemods as an interactive list:

$ hypermod --packages @monorepo/my-package /path/to/source
