Monorepo Navigation



Development Setup

If you are interested in contributing to the project or running the examples that are part of this mono-repository, then you must first set up your development environment.

Setup Monorepo

This repo consists of multiple packages that partly build on top of each other. It relies on pnpm workspaces and Turborepo (which gets installed automatically).

Clone the repo and run pnpm install the root level:

pnpm install

In order to link up initial dependencies and check whether everything has installed correctly run

pnpm build

This will build all the packages in /packages and the examples in /examples once.

After that you can use a more granular command to only rebuild the packages you are working on.
