# Panda Monorepo
**Status**: 🚧 **Placeholder - Under Planning**
**Purpose**: Unified monorepository for all Panda ecosystem projects with shared code, tooling, and unified dependency management.
**Note**: PANDA (Pan-African Network for Digital Advancement) is a partner in **PanTel**, a telecommunications joint venture with Sankofa. The panda_monorepo organizes PANDA-related projects.
---
## Overview
The Panda Monorepo consolidates all Panda ecosystem projects into a single, unified repository structure. This enables shared code, unified versioning, simplified dependency management, and coordinated development across all Panda initiatives.
---
## Purpose
The monorepo structure provides:
- **Unified Development**: Single repository for all Panda projects
- **Shared Libraries**: Common code, types, and utilities across projects
- **Dependency Management**: Unified versioning and dependency resolution
- **Cross-Project Refactoring**: Easier refactoring across project boundaries
- **Coordinated Releases**: Unified versioning and release process
- **Shared Tooling**: Common build, test, and deployment tools
- **Simplified CI/CD**: Single pipeline for all projects

## Submodules & Projects (Planned)
### Documentation (Submodule)
| Submodule | Path | Description | Status |
|-----------|------|-------------|--------|
| **pan-tel** | `packages/pan-tel` or `apps/pan-tel` | Telecommunications project | 🚧 Placeholder |
| **panda_docs** | `docs/panda-docs` | Documentation repository | 🚧 Placeholder |
**Note**:
- The `pan-tel` project content is currently archived in `loc_az_hci` under an archive beginning with `6g_gpu*`. The project directory serves as a placeholder until the archive is unpacked and integrated.
- PanTel is a **joint venture** between Sankofa and PANDA (Pan-African Network for Digital Advancement).
### Projects (To Be Added)
Projects in the Panda ecosystem will be integrated as submodules or packages. Specific projects are to be determined.
---
## Package Manager & Tooling
### Recommended: pnpm Workspaces + Turborepo
**Benefits:**
- Fast installs with pnpm
- Build caching with Turborepo
- Task orchestration
- Dependency graph optimization
### Alternative: Nx
**Benefits:**
- Comprehensive monorepo tooling
- Advanced dependency graph
- Code generation
- Testing and building
### Configuration Example (pnpm + Turborepo)
```yaml
# pnpm-workspace.yaml
packages:
- 'packages/*'
- 'apps/*'
- 'tools/*'
```
```json
// turbo.json
{
"pipeline": {
"build": {
"dependsOn": ["^build"],
"outputs": ["dist/**", "build/**"]
},
"test": {
"dependsOn": ["build"],
"outputs": ["coverage/**"]
},
"lint": {},
"type-check": {}
}
}
```
---
## Shared Packages (Planned)
### panda-shared
**Purpose**: Common utilities and types shared across all Panda projects
**Contents:**
- TypeScript type definitions
- Utility functions
- Configuration helpers
- Constants and enums
- Validation schemas
### panda-api-client
**Purpose**: Type-safe API clients for Panda services
**Contents:**
- REST API clients
- GraphQL clients
- WebSocket clients
- Type definitions for API responses
### panda-schemas
**Purpose**: Shared data schemas and validation
**Contents:**
- JSON schemas
- GraphQL schemas
- Prisma schemas (if applicable)
- Zod validation schemas
### panda-auth
**Purpose**: Shared authentication and authorization
**Contents:**
- Auth utilities
- Token management
- Permission checking
- Session management
---
## Development Workflow (Planned)
### Setup
```bash
# Clone monorepo
git clone <monorepo-url>
cd panda_monorepo
# Initialize submodules
git submodule update --init --recursive
# Install dependencies
pnpm install
# Build all packages
pnpm build
# Run tests
pnpm test
```
### Adding a New Package
```bash
# Create new package
mkdir -p packages/my-package
cd packages/my-package
# Initialize package
pnpm init
# Add to workspace (already configured in pnpm-workspace.yaml)
# Install dependencies
pnpm add <dependency>
# Build
pnpm build
```
### Working with Submodules
```bash
# Update all submodules
git submodule update --remote
# Add new submodule
git submodule add <repository-url> packages/panda-new-project
# Commit submodule updates
git add .gitmodules packages/panda-new-project
git commit -m "Add panda-new-project submodule"
```
### Building and Testing
```bash
# Build all packages
pnpm build
# Build specific package
pnpm --filter @panda/shared build
# Run all tests
pnpm test
# Run tests for specific package
pnpm --filter @panda/shared test
# Type check all packages
pnpm type-check
# Lint all packages
pnpm lint
```
---
## CI/CD Pipeline (Planned)
### Workflow Structure
1. **Lint & Type Check**: Run on all packages
2. **Unit Tests**: Run package-specific tests
3. **Integration Tests**: Run cross-package tests
4. **Build**: Build all packages
5. **E2E Tests**: Run end-to-end tests
6. **Deploy**: Deploy based on changed packages
### Turborepo Pipeline
```yaml
# .github/workflows/ci.yml (example)
- Build packages (cached)
- Test packages (cached)
- Type check (cached)
- Lint (cached)
- Integration tests
- E2E tests
- Build Docker images (for applications)
- Deploy (staging/production)
```
---
## Versioning Strategy
### Option 1: Independent Versioning
- Each package has its own version
- Semantic versioning per package
- Useful for submodules approach
### Option 2: Unified Versioning
- Single version for monorepo
- All packages versioned together
- Easier for coordinated releases
**Recommendation**: Start with independent versioning, consider unified for major releases.
---
## Dependency Management
### Shared Dependencies
Common dependencies should be hoisted to root:
```json
// package.json (root)
{
"devDependencies": {
"typescript": "^5.0.0",
"@types/node": "^20.0.0",
"eslint": "^8.0.0",
"prettier": "^3.0.0"
}
}
```
### Package-Specific Dependencies
Package-specific dependencies in package.json:
```json
// packages/panda-shared/package.json
{
"dependencies": {
"zod": "^3.22.0"
}
}
```
---
## Documentation Structure
### Monorepo-Level Documentation

### Package-Level Documentation
Each package maintains its own:
