Performing operations across the monorepo

This repository relies on Yarn's workspaces feature to provide a way to work with packages individually and collectively. Refer to the documentation for the following Yarn commands for usage instructions:

• yarn workspace
• yarn workspaces foreach

Note

• workspaceName in the Yarn documentation is the name field within a package's package.json, e.g., @metamask/address-book-controller, not the directory where it is located, e.g., packages/address-book-controller.
• commandName in the Yarn documentation is any sub-command that the yarn executable would usually take. Pay special attention to the difference between run vs exec. If you want to run a package script, you would use run, e.g., yarn workspace @metamask/address-book-controller run changelog:validate; but if you want to run any shell command, you'd use exec, e.g. yarn workspace @metamask/address-book-controller exec cat package.json | jq '.version'.
