backstage/packages/yarn-plugin

yarn-plugin-backstage

This yarn plugin adds a backstage: version protocol to yarn, which replaces specific version ranges for @backstage/ packages. The only version range supported by this plugin is backstage:^, which has similar semantics to the corresponding workspace range when using workspace dependencies; locally, the package will always resolve to the exact version specified in the manifest for the Backstage release listed in backstage.json. If the dependent package is published, this version will be prefixed by ^.

Detailed instructions for using the plugin can be found in the docs.

Installation

yarn plugin import https://versions.backstage.io/v1/tags/main/yarn-plugin

The resulting changes in the file system should be committed to your repo.

Usage

The yarn plugin recognizes the version string "backstage:^", and replaces it with the appropriate version based on the overall Backstage version in backstage.json.
