Wordpress Made Easy: Monorepo

This guide allows you to make changes in the monorepo and have them reflected directly in the wme-sitebuilder plugin.

Prerequisites

• Install yalc
• Install pnpm using their documentation or homebrew

Get started with local development

Create "watched" development builds and make them available as packages through yalc.

1. Run pnpm install
2. Run pnpm dev

Note: If you've built the project in the past and the build is now failing, run pnpm clean:hard , then retry the "get started" steps.

Using monorepo packages for local development

After the dev build has successfully completed, yalc should will have published the following packages for use in other local projects:

@moderntribe/sitebuilder
@moderntribe/storebuilder
@moderntribe/wme-ui

You can now use these packages by running yalc add [package] in the desired project.

See the WME Sitebuilder documentation for more explicit directions.

After these steps, this is the expected pipeline:

• Make a change in the monorepo
• A new bundle will be generated in the monorepo
• Because a new bundle has been generated in the monorepo and it's linked using yalc, a new bundle will be generated in the plugin
• Reload the page
• See your change
