is there a way to generate a separate lock file for one of the packages?

[raviteja83]

I have a monorepo with several packages with the following structure.

• apps
  • app1
  • app2
• packages
  • pkg1
  • pk2
  • pk3

I want to update yarn.lock in app1 always. As of now, only the root level lock file gets updated. Is there a way to generate a lockfile for app1 or any of the packages for that matter.

Hi @raviteja83 - Are you using Yarn Workspaces? If so, there should only be the one lockfile in the root as described here. Note that this is the default for new Lerna projects.

If you really need to have independent lockfiles, then you would have to disable Yarn workspaces. Check out the configuration docs for details.

I have tried that approach. The only problem is yarn.lock of apps does not contain packages versions. Anyway I can achieve that?
The reason for having the packages in yarn.lock is the apps get synced to a public repo where the yarn.lock needs to be updated everytime the sync happens.
