When working in a monorepo with multiple applications and packages, it's easy for your TypeScript config files to become redundant, inconsistent, or just plain messy. Fortunately, if you're using Turborepo, you can clean that up with a single, shareable TypeScript config package. In this blog post, I’ll walk you through how to create a reusable @dtr-cli/typescript-config -- @dtr-cli is my project package, structure it for multiple project types (backend, frontend, Vite, Next.js etc.), and integrate it across your monorepo like a pro. ✅ This approach is especially helpful for developers maintaining multiple apps in a monorepo using tools like Turborepo, pnpm workspaces, or Yarn workspaces.
