speccing out what an oro.kdl aka orogene package.json would look like, when using orogene's workspaces feature I'm poking at now. Is this anything? Credit to pnpm for the dependencies/dependency-groups thing, which it calls "catalogs".

I'm making things work a little different than they work in both NPM and pnpm, but I think doing things this way is WAY more intuitive in the end? Just one hard-working workspace: protocol that can pull in centrally-specified dependency versions, workspace members, or named dependency groups.

// Example for workspaces package { name my-pkg private } workspace { members { // A sub-package at this location will be accessible as // `dependencies { my-subpkg workspace: }` (or `"dependencies": { // "my-subpkg": "workspace:" }` if you're using `package.json` // // You can also specify what version it will bind to by using a // specifier prefix, such at `workspace:^` (the default if nothing is // specified), `workspace:*` (the equivalent of `foo *`), `workspace:~` // (the equivalent of `foo ~1.2.3`, where `1.2.3` is the current version // in the member's `package.json` or `oro.kdl` file. "./packages/my-subpkg" } dependencies { // Each of these dependencies will also be accessible as `workspace:` // dependencies, as if they were members, but their version only needs // to be specified once. react ^18.2.0 react-dom ^18.2.0 } dependency-groups { // This allows you to specify deps in a named group, allowing you to do // `workspace:react17`, for example. react17 { react ^17.0.2 react-dom ^17.0.2 } } }
