Refactoring a existing Angular app to Monorepo style

Posted on by

We have a existing project with a standard structure.
I am starting to break down the project so that:

  • We have the shared module put in a separate project – lets call it lib
  • the other project will be application, which will use properties of the shared module

Here are my doubts:

  • Do we need to strictly follow the monorepo structure as per documentation ?
  • Do we need a src in lib project also ?
  • Do we need to have tsconfig in the root, and also in lib ?

Note: I am writing angular.json manually, as generating the workspace through command line will generate latest angular features, and we are using version 7 still now.

Many thanks in advance.
