Filtering Packages
Each Melos command can be used alongside the following global filters:
--no-private
Exclude private packages (publish_to: none). They are included by default.
melos bootstrap --no-private
--published
Filter packages where the current local package version exists on pub.dev.
melos bootstrap --published
Use --no-published to filter packages that have not had their current version
published yet.
--scope
Include only packages with names matching the given glob. This option can be repeated.
# Run `flutter build ios` on all packages with "example" in the package name
melos exec --scope="*example*" -- flutter build ios
--ignore
Exclude packages with names matching the given glob. This option can be repeated.
# Run `flutter build ios` on all packages but ignore those whose packages names contain "internal"
melos exec --ignore="*internal*" -- flutter build ios
--category
Filter packages based on categories declared in the melos.yaml file.
# Run `flutter build ios` on all packages in the "examples" category.
melos exec --category="examples" -- flutter build ios
--diff
Filter packages based on whether there were changes between a commit and the current HEAD or within a range of commits.
A range of commits can be specified using the git short hand syntax
<start-commit>..<end-commit> and <start-commit>...<end-commit>.
# Run `flutter build ios` on all packages that are different between current
# branch and the specified commit hash.
melos exec --diff=<commit hash> -- flutter build ios
# Run `flutter build ios` on all packages that are different between remote
# `main` branch and HEAD.
melos exec --diff=origin/main...HEAD -- flutter build ios
--dir-exists
Include only packages where a specific directory exists inside the package.
# Only bootstrap packages with an example directory
melos bootstrap --dir-exists="example"
--file-exists
Include only packages where a specific file exists in the package.
# Only bootstrap packages with an README.md file
melos bootstrap --file-exists="README.md"
--flutter
Filter packages where the package depends on the Flutter SDK.
melos exec --flutter -- flutter test
Use --no-flutter to filter packages that do not depend on the Flutter SDK.
--depends-on
Include only packages that depend on specific dependencies.
melos exec --depends-on="flutter" --depends-on="firebase_core" -- flutter test
Use --no-depends-on to filter packages that do not depend on the given
dependencies.
