Working on a larger typescript project we decided to move the code to a monorepo with yarn workspaces.
We use webpack to build and bundle and everything works well (especially the linking between local modules/packages).
Since yarn workspaces will store most of the node_modules in the mono repo's root folder, the IDE (IntelliJ as well as VSCode) have problems resolving the imports to any node_modules when coding inside a "inner" project (so called "package" of a monorepo).
The strange thing is that imports are not known but on the other hand most of the time you can navigate to the correct source / definition within the IDEs for the same import if you write it down manually.
We have tried to tell IntelliJ to look into another folder for node_modules, but still not satisfying.
Please share your experience with yarn workspaces / monorepo (e.g. lerna) and how you develop the code living in these monorepos.
Which IDE do you use?
Did you add any special configurations to the IDE and/or package.json, tsconfig.json?
