Add Package to Workspace

Add and configure new project dependencies: $ARGUMENTS

Instructions

  1. Package Definition and Analysis

    • Parse package name and type from arguments: $ARGUMENTS (format: name [type])
    • If no arguments provided, prompt for package name and type
    • Validate package name follows workspace naming conventions
    • Determine package type: library, application, tool, shared, service, component-library
    • Check for naming conflicts with existing packages
  2. Package Structure Creation

    • Create package directory in appropriate workspace location (packages/, apps/, libs/)
    • Set up standard package directory structure based on type:
      • src/ for source code
      • tests/ or __tests__/ for testing
      • docs/ for package documentation
      • examples/ for usage examples (if library)
      • public/ for static assets (if application)
    • Create package-specific configuration files
  3. Package Configuration Setup

    • Generate package.json with proper metadata:
      • Name following workspace conventions
      • Version aligned with workspace strategy
      • Dependencies and devDependencies
      • Scripts for build, test, lint, dev
      • Entry points and exports configuration
    • Configure TypeScript (tsconfig.json) extending workspace settings
    • Set up package-specific linting and formatting rules
  4. Package Type-Specific Setup

    • Library: Configure build system, export definitions, API documentation
    • Application: Set up routing, environment configuration, build optimization
    • Tool: Configure CLI setup, binary exports, command definitions
    • Shared: Set up common utilities, type definitions, shared constants
    • Service: Configure server setup, API routes, database connections
    • Component Library: Set up Storybook, component exports, styling system
  5. Workspace Integration

    • Register package in workspace configuration (nx.json, lerna.json, etc.)
    • Configure package dependencies and peer dependencies
    • Set up cross-package imports and references
    • Configure workspace-wide build order and dependencies
    • Add package to workspace scripts and task runners
  6. Development Environment

    • Configure package-specific development server (if applicable)
    • Set up hot reloading and watch mode
    • Configure debugging and source maps
    • Set up development proxy and API mocking (if needed)
    • Configure environment variable management
  7. Testing Infrastructure

    • Set up testing framework configuration for the package
    • Create initial test files and examples
    • Configure test coverage reporting
    • Set up package-specific test scripts
    • Configure integration testing with other workspace packages
  8. Build and Deployment

    • Configure build system for the package type
    • Set up build artifacts and output directories
    • Configure bundling and optimization
    • Set up package publishing configuration (if library)
    • Configure deployment scripts (if application)
  9. Documentation and Examples

    • Create package README with installation and usage instructions
    • Set up API documentation generation
    • Create usage examples and demos
    • Document package architecture and design decisions
    • Add package to workspace documentation
  10. Validation and Integration Testing

    • Verify package builds successfully
    • Test package installation and imports
    • Validate workspace dependency resolution
    • Test development workflow and hot reloading
    • Verify CI/CD pipeline includes new package
    • Test cross-package functionality and integration
