# yarn-plugin-fetch

Optimized yarn workflow for docker build.
Don't re-download all your dependencies on each package.json change.

Implementation of pnpm [fetch](https://pnpm.io/cli/fetch) for yarn berry with additional features:

- workspace focus support
- custom install command

It work's by expanding your yarn.lock into package.json file(s) and structured workspaces.

## requirements:

- yarn berry (>= 2)

### migration to yarn berry

- run `yarn set version berry` in your repository
- .gitignore (without [zero install](#yarn-zero-install))
```.gitignore
.pnp.*
.yarn/*
!.yarn/patches
!.yarn/plugins
!.yarn/releases
!.yarn/sdks
!.yarn/versions
```

https://yarnpkg.com/getting-started/qa#which-files-should-be-gitignored
- to ensure retrocompatibility, put in your `.yarnrc.yml`: `nodeLinker: pnpm` (recommended, all advantages of pnpm symlink method) or `nodeLinker: node-modules` (better compatibility)

## getting started

```sh
yarn plugin import https://codeberg.org/devthefuture/yarn-plugin-fetch/raw/branch/master/bundles/@yarnpkg/plugin-fetch.js
```

## Docker implementation

### standalone repository

Dockerfile

```Dockerfile
COPY yarn.lock .yarnrc.yml ./
COPY .yarn .yarn
RUN yarn fetch --immutable

COPY . .

RUN yarn postinstall # if you have postinstall script in your package.json
RUN yarn build # and/or other build commands
```

#### production optimization

This is specific to yarn berry, not directly related to this plugin, but this documentation attempt to be a complete migration guide from yarn classic (v1) to yarn berry (v2+).

Yarn berry need [workspace-tools plugin](https://yarnpkg.com/api/modules/plugin_workspace_tools.html) to support `--production` (This plugin is included by default starting from Yarn 4).

You can install it with this simple command:

```sh
yarn plugin import workspace-tools
```

Then you can add this line of previous example:

```Dockerfile
RUN yarn workspaces focus --production
```

And if you have postinstall script in your package.json that needs dev dependencies, you can replace by this command instead:

```Dockerfile
RUN yarn fetch-tools production
```

And to get a lighter layer you can do:

```Dockerfile
RUN yarn fetch-tools production && yarn cache clean
```

Note: this optimization will make sense in case you make a multistage Dockerfile and copy node_modules in the final stage, eg:

```Dockerfile
FROM node as build
COPY yarn.lock .yarnrc.yml ./
COPY .yarn .yarn
RUN yarn fetch --immutable

COPY . .

RUN yarn postinstall # if you have postinstall script in your package.json
RUN yarn build # and/or other build commands
RUN yarn fetch-tools production

FROM node as final
COPY --from=build /app/node_modules /app/node_modules
```

### monorepo

You need the [workspace-tools plugin](https://yarnpkg.com/api/modules/plugin_workspace_tools.html) to be installed to implement this example (This plugin is included by default starting from Yarn 4).
You can install it with `yarn plugin import workspace-tools`.

package/mypackage/Dockerfile

```Dockerfile
COPY yarn.lock .yarnrc.yml ./
COPY .yarn .yarn
RUN yarn fetch workspaces focus mypackage

COPY package/mypackage package/mypackage

# COPY package/my-package-dep1 . # if you have one or many workspace dependencies
RUN yarn workspaces foreach -At run postinstall # if you have postinstall scripts in your package.json file(s)
RUN yarn workspace mypackage build # and/or other build commands

RUN yarn workspaces focus mypackage --production
```

## extra commands (fetch-tools)

### production

This need [workspace-tools plugin](https://yarnpkg.com/api/modules/plugin_workspace_tools.html) to support `--production` (This plugin is included by default starting from Yarn 4). You can install it with `yarn plugin import workspace-tools`.

This command will clean the dev dependencies (generally implemented after build):

```sh
yarn fetch-tools production
```

it's equivalent to

```sh
yarn fetch-tools disable-postinstall
yarn workspaces focus --production
yarn fetch-tools enable-postinstall
```

all extra arguments are transmitted as argument to `yarn workspaces focus --production` command.

### expand-lock

If you don't want to install dependencies but want to expand the yarn.lock to package.json only, you can run:

```sh
yarn fetch-tools expand-lock
```

### postinstall

this is renaming the scripts postinstall key in package.json to \_postinstall

```sh
yarn fetch-tools disable-postinstall
```

and this revert it

```sh
yarn fetch-tools enable-postinstall
```

## yarn zero-install

If you opt for yarn zero install, you probably don't need this plugin, but you still need workspace-tools plugin for optimization. Here is an example of an optimized Dockerfile for this case:

```Dockerfile
FROM node:20-alpine AS node

RUN mkdir /app && chown 1000:1000 /app
USER 1000
WORKDIR /app
ENTRYPOINT [ "node", "index.js" ]

FROM node AS build
COPY --chown=1000:1000 . .
RUN yarn
RUN yarn buil
RUN yarn workspaces focus --production && yarn cache clean

FROM node
COPY --from=build /app /app
```
