pnpm-config.json

NOTE: This config file was introduced with Rush 5.79.0. Prior to that release, PNPM settings were instead stored in the "pnpmOptions" section of rush.json. For backwards compatibility, Rush 5 still accepts the "pnpmOptions" section. If you are upgrading an old monorepo, in order to access these new PNPM settings, you must manually delete the "pnpmOptions" setting from rush.json and create the pnpm-config.json file.

This is the template that rush init generates for pnpm-config.json:

common/config/rush/pnpm-config.json

/**
* This configuration file provides settings specific to the PNPM package manager.
* More documentation is available on the Rush website: https://rushjs.io
*/

"$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/rush/v5/pnpm-config.schema.json",

/**
* If true, then `rush install` and `rush update` will use the PNPM workspaces feature
* to perform the install, instead of the old model where Rush generated the symlinks
* for each projects's node_modules folder.
*
* When using workspaces, Rush will generate a `common/temp/pnpm-workspace.yaml` file referencing
* all local projects to install. Rush will also generate a `.pnpmfile.cjs` shim which implements
* Rush-specific features such as preferred versions. The user's `common/config/rush/.pnpmfile.cjs`
* is invoked by the shim.
*
* This option is strongly recommended. The default value is false.
*/
"useWorkspaces": true,

/**
* This setting determines how PNPM chooses version numbers during `rush update`.
* For example, suppose `lib-x@3.0.0` depends on `"lib-y": "^1.2.3"` whose latest major
* releases are `1.8.9` and `2.3.4`. The resolution mode `lowest-direct` might choose
* `lib-y@1.2.3`, wheres `highest` will choose 1.8.9, and `time-based` will pick the
* highest compatible version at the time when `lib-x@3.0.0` itself was published (ensuring
* that the version could have been tested by the maintainer of "lib-x"). For local workspace
* projects, `time-based` instead works like `lowest-direct`, avoiding upgrades unless
* they are explicitly requested. Although `time-based` is the most robust option, it may be
* slightly slower with registries such as npmjs.com that have not implemented an optimization.
*
* IMPORTANT: Be aware that PNPM 8.0.0 initially defaulted to `lowest-direct` instead of
* `highest`, but PNPM reverted this decision in 8.6.12 because it caused confusion for users.
* Rush version 5.106.0 and newer avoids this confusion by consistently defaulting to
* `highest` when `resolutionMode` is not explicitly set in pnpm-config.json or .npmrc,
* regardless of your PNPM version.
*
* PNPM documentation: https://pnpm.io/npmrc#resolution-mode
*
* Possible values are: `highest`, `time-based`, and `lowest-direct`.
* The default is `highest`.

/**
* This setting determines whether PNPM will automatically install (non-optional)
* missing peer dependencies instead of reporting an error. Doing so conveniently
* avoids the need to specify peer versions in package.json, but in a large monorepo
* this often creates worse problems. The reason is that peer dependency behavior
* is inherently complicated, and it is easier to troubleshoot consequences of an explicit
* version than an invisible heuristic. The original NPM RFC discussion pointed out
* some other problems with this feature: https://github.com/npm/rfcs/pull/43

* IMPORTANT: Without Rush, the setting defaults to true for PNPM 8 and newer; however,
* as of Rush version 5.109.0 the default is always false unless `autoInstallPeers`
* is specified in pnpm-config.json or .npmrc, regardless of your PNPM version.

* PNPM documentation: https://pnpm.io/npmrc#auto-install-peers

* If true, then Rush will add the `--strict-peer-dependencies` command-line parameter when

* which is an invalid state that can cause build failures or incompatible dependency versions.
* (For historical reasons, JavaScript package managers generally do not treat this invalid
* state as an error.)
*
* PNPM documentation: https://pnpm.io/npmrc#strict-peer-dependencies

* across multiple repo folders, but the disadvantage of less isolation for builds
* (for example, bugs or incompatibilities when two repos use different releases of PNPM)

* feature is enabled, `rush update` will append a hash to the file as a YAML comment,
* and then `rush update` and `rush install` will validate the hash. Note that this
* does not prohibit manual modifications, but merely requires `rush update` be run

* its main purpose is to detect corrupted or truncated network requests, this hash can also
* serve as a security fingerprint to protect against attacks that would substitute a
* malicious tarball, for example if a misconfigured .npmrc caused a machine to accidentally
* download a matching package name+version from npmjs.com instead of the private NPM registry.
* NPM originally used a SHA1 hash; this was insecure because an attacker can too easily craft
* a tarball with a matching fingerprint. For this reason, NPM later deprecated SHA1 and
* instead adopted a cryptographically strong SHA512 hash. Nonetheless, SHA1 hashes can
* occasionally reappear during "rush update", for example due to missing metadata fallbacks
* (https://github.com/orgs/pnpm/discussions/6194) or an incompletely migrated private registry.
