Presetter has kept shipping steady improvements since the v8.0 launch. The v8.3 update pulls those changes together with refreshed tooling, smarter defaults, and cleaner monorepo behavior.

Highlights Since v8.0​

🚀 Toolchain Upgrades (v8.2)​

  • Vitest 4 in presetter-preset-essentials
  • Storybook 10 in presetter-preset-web
  • Next.js 16 in presetter-preset-next

✨ Smarter Defaults (v8.3)​

  • ESLint config discovery now prefers the closest config file per package
  • Automatic binary resolution in run, run-s, and run-p for preset-provided tools
  • Typecheck script included across preset package templates

🧭 Monorepo Quality​

  • Linting includes source + test files by default
  • Workspace tests pick up vitest.config{,.int,.e2e}.ts automatically

Real-World Configuration Example​

This simplified snippet mirrors how we run Presetter in a production monorepo (from ~/Repositories/core):

presetter.config.ts
import { asset, preset } from 'presetter';
import monorepo from 'presetter-preset-monorepo';

export default preset('core', {
  extends: [monorepo],
  variables: {
    target: 'ES2024',
  },
  override: {
    assets: (context) =>
      context.isRepoRoot
        ? {
            'vitest.config.ts': asset((current) => ({
              ...current,
              default: {
                ...current?.default,
                test: {
                  ...current?.default?.test,
                  projects: ['*/*/vitest.config{,.int,.e2e}.ts'],
                },
              },
            })),
          }
        : {
            'eslint.config.ts': {
              default: [
                {
                  name: 'monorepo:override',
                  rules: {
                    'max-lines': 'off',
                  },
                },
              ],
            },
          },
  },
});
