Publish NPM package that uses a workspaces as dependencies

Question

so I have a project that I'm working on that is a Monorepo. So I have a packages directory in the root directory that contains all my npm packages. Some of these packages rely on eachother e.g. in a package.json I might have

{
    "dependencies": {
        "foo": "workspace:*",
        "bar": "workspace:*",
    }
}

(I use pnpm)

So I was wondering, if I were to post these packages, would all the dependencies still work the way they should?

Thanks!

Pnpm will do all the work for you when using pnpm publish (instead of npm publish).

It will automatically replace this:

{
    "dependencies": {
        "foo": "workspace:*",
        "bar": "workspace:*",
    }
}

with the current version, for example:

{
    "dependencies": {
        "foo": "1.5.0",
        "bar": "1.5.0",
    }
}
