How to manage workspace via bit

[MatthD]

Hello !

Regarding pnpm suggested to use Bit for monorepo deps management we are trying to figure out how to deal with current architecture of packages.

We have this

---node
-----apps
-------api
-------otherapp
-----packages
--------core
--------attr

So our packages can be used inside our apps
We had a typescript config via path property, for eg we could load @namespace/core from our apps/api/sample.ts

I figure out to do it via Bit with bit add packages/core --namespace "@namespace" but it seems the @ cause issue, anyway, removing the @ it seems every file become a symlink, but when I had a file into packages/core I need to bit install everytime again.
So the dev experience is worst than with typescript alias

How to deal with that ?

think about bit like any other monorepo tool. Essentially it creates and manages symlinks for each components in node-modules, so you don't need to set up anything. Bit already scopes components.

i am unsure about what you mentioned in regards to the bit-install item. you do not need to run this command after every time you create a component.
