What is Commonality?
Commonality is an AI tool designed to help developers structure JavaScript codebases that scale efficiently from small teams to large organizations. It enables users to build bigger by scaling composable codebases with existing tools and conventions, ensuring a consistent developer experience. The tool focuses on codifying standards, organizing dependency graphs, categorizing packages, and navigating ownership to maintain project health and clarity.
With features like checks for standards, constraints for dependency management, tags for package categorization, and codeowners for team responsibility, Commonality provides a comprehensive solution for managing complex codebases. It also includes Commonality Studio for visualizing dependency graphs and conformance health, making it easier to explore and maintain any JavaScript project.
Features
- Checks: Codify standards and scale developer experience with a customizable monorepo linter
- Constraints: Organize dependency graphs by limiting which packages can depend on each other
- Tags: Categorize packages by purpose, concern, or domain without tight coupling to directory structure
- Codeowners: Navigate ownership by viewing which teams or contributors are responsible for packages
- Commonality Studio: Visualize dependency graphs, categorize packages with tags, and view conformance health
Use Cases
- Scaling JavaScript codebases from small to large development teams
- Maintaining consistent standards and conventions in monorepos
- Organizing and limiting dependencies in complex projects
- Categorizing packages for better codebase management
- Visualizing and exploring dependency graphs and project health
