This PR modernizes the ZITADEL monorepo build system by migrating from Yarn to pnpm, introducing Turbo for improved build orchestration, and cleaning up configuration inconsistencies across all apps and packages. ### 🎯 Key Improvements #### 📦 **Package Manager Migration (Yarn → pnpm)** - **Performance**: Faster installs with pnpm's efficient symlink-based node_modules structure - **Disk space**: Significant reduction in disk usage through content-addressable storage - **Lockfile**: More reliable dependency resolution with pnpm-lock.yaml - **Workspace support**: Better monorepo dependency management #### ⚡ **Turbo Integration** - **Build orchestration**: Dependency-aware task execution across the monorepo - **Intelligent caching**: Dramatically faster builds on CI/CD and local development - **Parallel execution**: Optimal task scheduling based on dependency graphs - **Vercel optimization**: Enhanced build performance and caching on Vercel deployments #### 🧹 **Configuration Cleanup & Unification** - **Removed config packages**: Eliminated `@zitadel/*-config` packages and inlined configurations - **Simplified dependencies**: Reduced complexity in package.json files across all apps - **Consistent tooling**: Unified prettier, ESLint, and TypeScript configurations - **Standalone support**: Improved prepare-standalone.js script for subtree deployments ### 📋 Detailed Changes #### **🔧 Build System & Dependencies** - ✅ Updated all package.json scripts to use `pnpm` instead of `yarn` - ✅ Replaced `yarn.lock` with pnpm-lock.yaml and regenerated dependencies - ✅ Added Turbo configuration (turbo.json) to root and individual packages - ✅ Configured proper dependency chains: `@zitadel/proto#generate` → `@zitadel/client#build` → `console#build` - ✅ Added missing `@bufbuild/protobuf` dependency to console app for TypeScript compilation #### **🚀 CI/CD & Workflows** - ✅ Updated all GitHub Actions workflows to use `pnpm/action-setup@v4` - ✅ Migrated build processes to use Turbo with directory-based filters (`--filter=./console`) - ✅ **New**: Added `docs.yml` workflow for building documentation locally (helpful for contributors without Vercel access) - ✅ Fixed dependency resolution issues in lint workflows - ✅ Ensured proto generation always runs before builds and linting #### **📚 Documentation & Proto Generation** - ✅ **Robust plugin management**: Enhanced plugin-download.sh with retry logic and error handling - ✅ **Vercel compatibility**: Fixed protoc-gen-connect-openapi plugin availability in Vercel builds - ✅ **API docs generation**: Resolved Docusaurus build errors with OpenAPI plugin configuration - ✅ **Type safety**: Improved TypeScript type extraction patterns in Angular components #### **🛠️ Developer Experience** - ✅ Updated all README files to reference pnpm commands - ✅ Improved Makefile targets to use Turbo for consistent builds - ✅ Enhanced standalone build process for login app subtree deployments - ✅ Added debug utilities for troubleshooting build issues #### **🗂️ File Structure & Cleanup** - ✅ Removed obsolete configuration packages and their references - ✅ Cleaned up Docker files to remove non-existent package copies - ✅ Updated workspace references and import paths - ✅ Streamlined turbo.json configurations across all packages ### 🎉 Benefits 1. **⚡ Faster Builds**: Turbo's caching and parallel execution significantly reduce build times 2. **🔄 Better Caching**: Improved cache hits on Vercel and CI/CD environments 3. **🛠️ Simplified Maintenance**: Unified tooling and configuration management 4. **📈 Developer Productivity**: Faster local development with optimized dependency resolution 5. **🚀 Enhanced CI/CD**: More reliable and faster automated builds and deployments 6. **📖 Better Documentation**: Comprehensive build documentation and troubleshooting guides ### 🧪 Testing - ✅ All apps build successfully with new pnpm + Turbo setup - ✅ Proto generation works correctly across console, login, and docs - ✅ GitHub Actions workflows pass with new configuration - ✅ Vercel deployments work with enhanced plugin management - ✅ Local development workflow verified and documented This migration sets a solid foundation for future development while maintaining backward compatibility and improving the overall developer experience. --------- Co-authored-by: Elio Bischof <elio@zitadel.com>

Console Angular App
This is the ZITADEL Console Angular application.
Development
Prerequisites
- Node.js 18 or later
- pnpm (latest)
Installation
pnpm install
Proto Generation
The Console app uses dual proto generation with Turbo dependency management:
@zitadel/proto
generation: Modern ES modules with@bufbuild/protobuf
for v2 APIs- Local
buf.gen.yaml
generation: Traditional protobuf JavaScript classes for v1 APIs
The Console app's turbo.json
ensures that @zitadel/proto#generate
runs before the Console's own generation, providing both:
- Modern schemas from
@zitadel/proto
(e.g.,UserSchema
,DetailsSchema
) - Legacy classes from
src/app/proto/generated
(e.g.,User
,Project
)
Generated files:
@zitadel/proto
: Modern ES modules inlogin/packages/zitadel-proto/
- Local generation: Traditional protobuf files in
src/app/proto/generated/
- TypeScript definition files (
.d.ts
) - JavaScript files (
.js
) - gRPC client files (
*ServiceClientPb.ts
) - OpenAPI/Swagger JSON files (
.swagger.json
)
- TypeScript definition files (
To generate proto files:
pnpm run generate
This automatically runs both generations in the correct order via Turbo dependencies.
Development Server
To start the development server:
pnpm start
This will:
- Fetch the environment configuration from the server
- Serve the app on the default port
Building
To build for production:
pnpm run build
This will:
- Generate proto files (via
prebuild
script) - Build the Angular app with production optimizations
Linting
To run linting and formatting checks:
pnpm run lint
To auto-fix formatting issues:
pnpm run lint:fix
Project Structure
src/app/proto/generated/
- Generated proto files (Angular-specific format)buf.gen.yaml
- Local proto generation configurationturbo.json
- Turbo dependency configuration for proto generationprebuild.development.js
- Development environment configuration script
Proto Generation Details
The Console app uses dual proto generation managed by Turbo dependencies:
Dependency Chain
The Console app has the following build dependencies managed by Turbo:
@zitadel/proto#generate
- Generates modern protobuf files@zitadel/client#build
- Builds the TypeScript gRPC client libraryconsole#generate
- Generates Console-specific protobuf filesconsole#build
- Builds the Angular application
This ensures that the Console always has access to the latest client library and protobuf definitions.
Legacy v1 API (Traditional Protobuf)
- Uses local
buf.gen.yaml
configuration - Generates traditional Google protobuf JavaScript classes extending
jspb.Message
- Uses plugins:
protocolbuffers/js
,grpc/web
,grpc-ecosystem/openapiv2
- Output:
src/app/proto/generated/
- Used for: Most existing Console functionality
Modern v2 API (ES Modules)
- Uses
@zitadel/proto
package generation - Generates modern ES modules with
@bufbuild/protobuf
- Uses plugin:
@bufbuild/es
with ES modules and JSON types - Output:
login/packages/zitadel-proto/
- Used for: New user v2 API and services
Dependency Management
The Console's turbo.json
ensures proper execution order:
@zitadel/proto#generate
runs first (modern ES modules)- Console's local generation runs second (traditional protobuf)
- Build/lint/start tasks depend on both generations being complete
This approach allows the Console app to use both v1 and v2 APIs while maintaining proper build dependencies.
Legacy Information
This project was originally generated with Angular CLI version 8.3.20 and has been updated over time.
