How to add dependency to PNPM workspace?

Question

I start using PNPM Workspaces, and I'm struggling in how to add dependencies to any specific workspace as I would do in yarn running:

yarn workspace <workspace_name> add <package_to_add>

Or even running scripts for specific packages as I would do in yarn like:

yarn workspace <workspace_name> run <script>

How is the PNPM community doing this? You really need to go to the workspace package.json file and add it manually?

Been a while searching for docs without success

Thanks!

Answer 1

So I found an answer and is using the --filter option.

i.e.

# Using the exact package name
pnpm add <package_to_add> --filter <workspace_name>
# Or using a pattern
pnpm add <package_to_add> --filter <prefix>/*

Same for run, etc...

Since Version 9 of pnpm I had to use also the --workspace flag like pnpm add <package_to_add> -F <workspace_name> --workspace – Tainataint

I tried in my monorepo but failed with No projects matched the filters – Disarrange
