Name: pnpm
Author: onmax

Node.js dependency management with monorepo workspaces, catalogs, and supply chain security features. Supports workspace protocol for internal package linking, centralized version catalogs, and transitive dependency overrides to resolve conflicts Includes patch functionality for third-party packages, content-addressable store for efficiency, and strict dependency resolution Provides filtering and scripting commands for running tasks across monorepo packages or targeting specific workspaces Reference documentation covers CLI commands, workspace configuration, advanced features like patches and hooks, and CI/CD pipeline setup

pnpm

Content-addressable store, strict deps, workspace protocol, catalogs.

When to Use

Installing/managing npm packages

Monorepo workspace setup with catalogs

Overriding transitive dependencies

Patching third-party packages

CI/CD configuration for pnpm projects

Supply chain security hardening

Quick Start

pnpm install                      # Install deps

pnpm add <pkg>                    # Add dep

pnpm add -D <pkg>                 # Dev dep

pnpm -r run build                 # Run in all packages

pnpm --filter @myorg/app build    # Run in specific package

Workspace Setup

# pnpm-workspace.yaml

packages:

  - 'packages/*'

  - 'apps/*'

# Catalogs for centralized version management

catalog:

  react: ^18.2.0

  typescript: ~5.3.0

// package.json - Use workspace protocol and catalogs

{

  "packageManager": "pnpm@10.28.2",

  "dependencies": {

    "@myorg/utils": "workspace:^",

    "react": "catalog:"

  }

}

Reference Files

Commands, scripts, filtering

cli.md

Workspaces, catalogs, config

workspaces.md

Overrides, patches, hooks, store

features.md

CI/CD, Docker, migration

ci.md

Loading Files

Consider loading these reference files based on your task:

references/cli.md - if using pnpm commands, scripts, or filtering

references/workspaces.md - if setting up monorepo, catalogs, or workspace config

references/features.md - if using overrides, patches, hooks, or managing store

references/ci.md - if configuring CI/CD, Docker, or migrating from npm/yarn

DO NOT load all files at once. Load only what's relevant to your current task.

Verify Setup

After configuring a workspace, verify it works:

pnpm install          # Install all deps

pnpm ls --depth 0     # Verify workspace links

pnpm -r run build     # Build all packages
