# Execute A Command From The Workspace Root
|
|
|
|
[`pnpm`](https://pnpm.io/) is designed to work with monorepos. In a monorepo
|
|
project you'll have a root `package.json` (in the top-level directory of the
|
|
repository) as well as individual `package.json` files per app and package. If
|
|
you're working from within the directory of one of your apps and you invoke a
|
|
command, `pnpm` should execute that command for this app. The `pnpm` CLI does
|
|
give you control to execute the command from the workspace root instead if
|
|
you'd like.
|
|
|
|
A likely setup is that both your root `package.json` and your individual app
|
|
`package.json` files have a `build` command.
|
|
|
|
Invoking the build command from `apps/my-app`:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
pnpm build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
will run the `my-app` build command, as specified in its `package.json`.
|
|
|
|
You could instead throw in [the `--workspace-root`
|
|
flag](https://pnpm.io/pnpm-cli#-w---workspace-root).
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
pnpm --workspace-root build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will ignore whatever subdirectory you are in and invoke the `build`
|
|
command defined in your top-level `package.json` file.
