We have a monorepo using Lerna, with package a and package b both containing @types/react.
Package A has Package B as a dependent so I end up with this:
Package A: node_modules/PackageB/node_modules/@types
Which causes loads of duplicate errors.
We don't use any workspaces (as of yet) and we use NPM. When compiling with TSC (for type checking), it throws a load of errors about duplicate packages and missing packages.
I was hoping there might be a way with tsconfig to specify the types folder I want to use? So instead of just grabbing all of them, it grabs only node_modules/@types rather than nested ones?
I've tried using typesRoot, types, and paths. All to no avail. Currently we're using skipLibCheck, but it's no ideal.
Each package should have a dependency on react types (don't use file paths!), lerna bootstrap used with the --hoist flag will wire them up without duplication. You will probably want to also use the --strict flag which will ensure you keep the dependency versions in lockstep.
