we are using Lerna to manage our mono-repo projects, and I wish to know the best way to install an external package in my projects and ensure that all of them are using the same version.
my project structure (my-Main-A and my my-Main-B both use my-common):
should I install my external package at the common project and export it from there?
import joi from "joi";
export {joi};
and than import it to the other project:
import {joi} from my-common;
or should I install it on all of the 3 projects?
I faced a similar case and I went with adding the library to all of my packages and used --exact to get the package exact same version
If you want to add a library to a package then exported from there, your shared package should be dependent on all other packages and you have to link it with other packages
# add package "a" to multiple packages
lerna add a --scope=b --scope=c --scope=d --exact
