This document provides instructions on how to remove links between packages in the monorepo.

Global

monopkg detach <packages...> [options]

Bun

bun x monopkg detach <packages...> [options]

NPM

npx monopkg detach <packages...> [options]

Yarn

yarn dlx monopkg detach <packages...> [options]

Options

• -w, --workspace - Root workspace of the packages.
• -f, --filter - Include specific packages.
• -e, --exclude - Exclude specific packages.

Examples

Unlink ui package from the web package.

Global

monopkg detach ui -f web

Bun

bun x monopkg detach ui -f web

NPM

npx monopkg detach ui -f web

Yarn

yarn dlx monopkg detach ui -f web

Output

The updated package.json file of the web package will look like this:

{
  "devDependencies": {
    "eslint": "^7.32.0",
    "ui": "workspace:*"
  }
}
