Monobuffer.el

Small minibuffer enhancement for navigating monorepos.

Overview

Monobuffer.el provides a single minibuffer function that allows to navigate through the different packages in a monorepo. This function works incrementally, allowing to progressively explore the structure of the monorepo.

• If the current path is deep inside a subproject, it will insert the root path of this subproject
• If the current path is already the root path of the subproject, it will insert the root directory path
• If the current path is already the root directory path, it will offer a completion to jump to any subprojects.

~/Projects/monorepo/packages/my-subpackage/folder/folder2/file.ts ->  
~/Projects/monorepo/packages/my-subpackage ->
~/Projects/monorepo ->
-- completion for all subprojects -- 

Customization

Bind monorepo to a key in minibuffer-mode-map.

(define-key minibuffer-mode-map (kbd "M-u") 'monorepo)

variable	description	default
monobuffer–root-folder-regex	Regex representing the pattern to find the root directory	“.git\\|.project”
monobuffer–subproject-regex	Regex representing the pattern to find all subprojects	“package.json”
monobuffer–exclude-folder-regex	Regex representing the folders to excludes while searching for all subprojects	“node_modules”

Todos

• exclude root directory from (monobuffer--get-all-subprojects)
• in (monobuffer) ensure the current buffer is the minibuffer and the content is a path
