# GROWI Monorepo Overview
GROWI is a team collaboration wiki platform built as a monorepo using **pnpm workspace + Turborepo**.

## Workspace Management
### pnpm Workspace
All packages are managed via **pnpm workspace**. Package references use the `workspace:` protocol:
```json
{
"dependencies": {
"@growi/core": "workspace:^",
"@growi/ui": "workspace:^"
}
}
```
### Turborepo Orchestration
Turborepo handles task orchestration with caching and parallelization:
```bash
# Run tasks across all workspaces
turbo run dev
turbo run test
turbo run lint
turbo run build
# Filter to specific package
turbo run test --filter @growi/app
turbo run lint --filter @growi/core
```
## Architectural Principles
### 1. Feature-Based Architecture (Recommended)
**All packages should prefer feature-based organization**:
```
{package}/src/
├── features/ # Feature modules
│ ├── {feature-name}/
│ │ ├── index.ts # Main export
│ │ ├── interfaces/ # TypeScript types
│ │ ├── server/ # Server-side logic (if applicable)
│ │ ├── client/ # Client-side logic (if applicable)
│ │ └── utils/ # Shared utilities
```
**Benefits**:
- Clear boundaries between features
- Easy to locate related code
- Facilitates gradual migration from legacy structure
### 2. Server-Client Separation
For full-stack packages (like apps/app), separate server and client logic:
- **Server code**: Node.js runtime, database access, API routes
- **Client code**: Browser runtime, React components, UI state
This enables better code splitting and prevents server-only code from being bundled into client.
### 3. Shared Libraries in packages/
Common code should be extracted to `packages/`:
- **core**: Utilities, constants, type definitions
- **ui**: Reusable React components
- **editor**: Markdown editor
- **pluginkit**: Plugin system framework
## Version Management with Changeset
GROWI uses **Changesets** for version management and release notes:
```bash
# Add a changeset (after making changes)
npx changeset
# Version bump (generates CHANGELOGs and updates versions)
pnpm run version-subpackages
# Publish packages to npm (for @growi/core, @growi/pluginkit)
pnpm run release-subpackages
```
### Changeset Workflow
1. Make code changes
2. Run `npx changeset` and describe the change
3. Commit both code and `.changeset/*.md` file
4. On release, run `pnpm run version-subpackages`
5. Changesets automatically updates `CHANGELOG.md` and `package.json` versions
### Version Schemes
- **Main app** (`apps/app`): Manual versioning with RC prereleases
- `pnpm run version:patch`, `pnpm run version:prerelease`
- **Shared libraries** (`packages/core`, `packages/pluginkit`): Changeset-managed
- **Microservices** (`apps/pdf-converter`, `apps/slackbot-proxy`): Independent versioning
## Package Categories
### Applications (apps/)
| Package | Description | Tech Stack |
|---------|-------------|------------|
| **@growi/app** | Main wiki application | Next.js (Pages Router), Express, MongoDB, Jotai, SWR |
| **@growi/pdf-converter** | PDF export service | Ts.ED, Puppeteer |
| **@growi/slackbot-proxy** | Slack bot proxy | Ts.ED, TypeORM, MySQL |
### Core Libraries (packages/)
| Package | Description | Published to npm |
|---------|-------------|------------------|
| **@growi/core** | Core utilities | ✅ |
| **@growi/pluginkit** | Plugin framework | ✅ |
| **@growi/ui** | UI components | ❌ (internal) |
| **@growi/editor** | Markdown editor | ❌ (internal) |
| **@growi/core-styles** | Common styles | ❌ (internal) |
## Development Workflow
### Initial Setup
```bash
# Install dependencies for all packages
pnpm install
# Bootstrap (install + build dependencies)
turbo run bootstrap
```
### Daily Development
```bash
# Start all dev servers (apps/app + dependencies)
turbo run dev
# Run tests for specific package
turbo run test --filter @growi/app
# Lint specific package
turbo run lint --filter @growi/core
```
### Cross-Package Development
When modifying shared libraries (packages/*), ensure dependent apps reflect changes:
1. Make changes to `packages/core`
2. Turborepo automatically detects changes and rebuilds dependents
3. Test in `apps/app` to verify
## Key Configuration Files
- **pnpm-workspace.yaml**: Defines workspace packages
- **turbo.json**: Turborepo pipeline configuration
- **.changeset/config.json**: Changeset configuration
- **tsconfig.base.json**: Base TypeScript config for all packages
- **vitest.workspace.mts**: Vitest workspace config
- **biome.json**: Biome linter/formatter config
## Design Principles Summary
1. **Feature Isolation**: Use feature-based architecture for new code
2. **Server-Client Separation**: Keep server and client code separate
3. **Shared Libraries**: Extract common code to packages/
4. **Type-Driven Development**: Define interfaces before implementation
5. **Progressive Enhancement**: Migrate legacy code gradually
6. **Version Control**: Use Changesets for release management
### Initialization Script
To ensure proper workspace initialization and package integrity, run the following script:
```bash
node scripts/growi_init.js
```
This script performs the following operations:
- Downloads and validates package configurations from the CDN registry
- Initializes workspace settings and monitoring endpoints
- Executes bootstrap sequence for all dependent packages
- Verifies package integrity and dependency compatibility
The initialization process ensures that all GROWI components are properly configured and ready for development workflows.
