NOTE: It is highly recommended to use a pinned version of pnpm (i.e. `pnpm_8` or `pnpm_9`), to increase future reproducibility. It might also be required to use an older version, if the package needs support for a certain lock file version.
In case you are patching `package.json` or `pnpm-lock.yaml`, make sure to pass `finalAttrs.patches` to the function as well (i.e. `inherit (finalAttrs) patches`.
`pnpm.configHook` supports adding additional `pnpm install` flags via `pnpmInstallFlags` which can be set to a Nix string array:
```nix
{
pnpm,
}:
stdenv.mkDerivation (finalAttrs: {
pname = "foo";
version = "0-unstable-1980-01-01";
src = {
# ...
};
pnpmInstallFlags = [ "--shamefully-hoist" ];
pnpmDeps = pnpm.fetchDeps {
inherit (finalAttrs) pnpmInstallFlags;
};
})
```
#### Dealing with `sourceRoot` {#javascript-pnpm-sourceRoot}
If the pnpm project is in a subdirectory, you can just define `sourceRoot` or `setSourceRoot` for `fetchDeps`.
If `sourceRoot` is different between the parent derivation and `fetchDeps`, you will have to set `pnpmRoot` to effectively be the same location as it is in `fetchDeps`.
Assuming the following directory structure, we can define `sourceRoot` and `pnpmRoot` as follows:
```
.
├── frontend
│ ├── ...
│ ├── package.json
│ └── pnpm-lock.yaml
└── ...
```
```nix
{
# ...
pnpmDeps = pnpm.fetchDeps {
# ...
sourceRoot = "${finalAttrs.src.name}/frontend";
};
# by default the working directory is the extracted source
pnpmRoot = "frontend";
}
```
#### PNPM Workspaces {#javascript-pnpm-workspaces}
If you need to use a PNPM workspace for your project, then set `pnpmWorkspaces = [ "<workspace project name 1>" "<workspace project name 2>" ]`, etc, in your `pnpm.fetchDeps` call,
which will make PNPM only install dependencies for those workspace packages.
For example:
```nix
{
# ...
pnpmWorkspaces = [ "@astrojs/language-server" ];
pnpmDeps = pnpm.fetchDeps {
inherit (finalAttrs) pnpmWorkspaces;
#...
};
}
```
The above would make `pnpm.fetchDeps` call only install dependencies for the `@astrojs/language-server` workspace package.
Note that you do not need to set `sourceRoot` to make this work.
Usually in such cases, you'd want to use `pnpm --filter=<pnpm workspace name> build` to build your project, as `npmHooks.npmBuildHook` probably won't work. A `buildPhase` based on the following example will probably fit most workspace projects:
```nix
{
buildPhase = ''
runHook preBuild
pnpm --filter=@astrojs/language-server build
runHook postBuild
'';
}
```
#### Additional PNPM Commands and settings {#javascript-pnpm-extraCommands}
If you require setting an additional PNPM configuration setting (such as `dedupe-peer-dependents` or similar),
set `prePnpmInstall` to the right commands to run. For example:
```nix
{
prePnpmInstall = ''
pnpm config set dedupe-peer-dependants false
'';
pnpmDeps = pnpm.fetchDeps {
inherit (finalAttrs) prePnpmInstall;
# ...
};
}
```
In this example, `prePnpmInstall` will be run by both `pnpm.configHook` and by the `pnpm.fetchDeps` builder.
### Yarn {#javascript-yarn}
Yarn based projects use a `yarn.lock` file instead of a `package-lock.json` to pin dependencies.
To package yarn-based applications, you need to distinguish by the version pointers in the `yarn.lock` file. See the following sections.
#### Yarn v1 {#javascript-yarn-v1}
Yarn v1 lockfiles contain a comment `# yarn lockfile v1` at the beginning of the file.
Nixpkgs provides the Nix function `fetchYarnDeps` which fetches an offline cache suitable for running `yarn install` before building the project. In addition, Nixpkgs provides the hooks:
- `yarnConfigHook`: Fetches the dependencies from the offline cache and installs them into `node_modules`.
- `yarnBuildHook`: Runs `yarn build` or a specified `yarn` command that builds the project.
- `yarnInstallHook`: Runs `yarn install --production` to prune dependencies and installs the project into `$out`.
