I've been trying to get a bazel monorepo with typescript to work. I have a couple of requirements in mind.
I'm new to Bazel and it seems like it requires some mentality changes when coming from the NPM ecosystem. After googling, I've managed to find something that works for points 1 and 2 (But I might be wrong). I've published the playground repo at https://github.com/vitorelourenco/bazelmono-ts (pretty much a copy from https://github.com/lokshunhung/bazel-ts-monorepo with some ideas I took from https://github.com/angular/angular)
My questions about points 3 and 4: Say I want the lib Lodash available on package @myworkspace/cloudFunction that will be deployed to Google Cloud Functions. If I install Lodash in the @myworkspace/cloudFunction folder, then Lodash will be added to package.json but I'll have a second node_modules folder and a second yarn.lock file, I don't want that. But if I install it in root/, then Lodash will not be added to the dependencies listed on package.json located at @myworkspace/cloudFunction, and when I deploy it, it won't install. Is there a smart way to handle this issue?
Point 5 is very similar. Ideally, the final Bazel output would have the local dependencies bundled in and ready to use but I can't seem to figure out a way to do it yet. I've tried adding a pkg_npm rule to //packages/app in the playgroup repo but couldn't get it to include //packages/common in it.
