how can I delete all node_modules folders from all packages in an npm 7 workspace?

With Lerna we could just execute lerna clean -y but when migrating to native NPM 7 workspaces, is there some equivalent?

CodePudding user response：

you can execute this to do so:

npm exec --workspaces -- npx rimraf node_modules && npx rimraf node_modules

explanation:

• npm exec will execute whatever comes next
• --workspaces will execute it in all your packages in your monorepo
• -- means "here comes the command to execute"
• npx rimraf node_modules is the command that's executed in all packages: it means it will delete the node_modules folder
• && means "and then"
• npx rimraf node_modules is executed again so the root folder node_modules also get deleted

That's all! Good luck
