Build with Lerna?

[viktor-yakubiv]

I think this repository comes to the stage where we need multiple packages even if we use all of them together. We want here having:

• global CSS
• styled React components
• logo (Add CORE logo component #217)
• icons
• some pure HTML templates ⌛️(maybe in the future)

If some external project starts using our style (i doubt it) it may not need to depend on our logo or components, only CSS may be needed. It may be useful even for us, for example for the BSDTAg which is on pure HTML.

It's more for the discusssion. @Joozty what do you think?

Totally agree even it will make maintenance slightly harder. Thanks for bringing it up. 👍

I see the packages slightly differently

@oacore/foundation - sanitize.css, assets (favicons, logo), global.css -deployed under cdn.core.ac.uk
@oacore/templates - templates used for 404, 500 and everything shared between projects (for example cookies notice?)
@oacore/icons - not sure about it but it's probably needed
@oacore/design - everything else

I recently discovered an alternative to Lerna: pnpm.js. I saw, Rollup builds their plugins using pnpm.js. I wonder if this is something worth to consider.
