The Problem with Changing Directories

In a monorepo with multiple products and packages, you often:

Solution: Yarn Workspace Command

Yarn’s workspace command allows you to:

Execute scripts or commands for a specific package from any location within the repo.
Avoid changing directories manually.
Manage dependencies for individual packages with ease.

Directly from the Package Directory
Navigate to the package directory and run the script:
```
 cd moduleA
 yarn build
```
From the Root Using yarn workspace
Run the script from the root (or any directory) with:
```
 yarn workspace moduleA build
```
- moduleA: Name of the package as defined in its package.json.
- build: Script to execute.

Instead of navigating to the package directory:

Use the remove command in the same way:

yarn workspace moduleA remove react

Run Commands Anywhere
Example: Run build for moduleA while inside the directory of moduleB:
```
 yarn workspace moduleA build
```
Batch Operations
Run scripts or manage dependencies across multiple packages efficiently.

Define Scripts in moduleA/package.json:

 {
   "scripts": {
     "build": "node index.js",
     "start": "moduleB-script"
   }
 }

Run build from Anywhere
Navigate to the repo root or another module and execute:
```
 yarn workspace moduleA build
```
Add React to moduleA
Without changing directories:
```
 yarn workspace moduleA add react
```

Saves Time: Avoid unnecessary directory changes.
Improves Workflow: Seamlessly run commands and manage dependencies.
Monorepo-Friendly: Execute commands across packages in one place.
Batch Operations: Combine with scripting to automate repetitive tasks across multiple packages.

Yarn Workspace commands are a powerful feature for monorepo management. By using yarn workspace, you can:
