Structure for serving Remix app (and other things) through CLI

[ostollmann]

Hi there,

I am trying to build/package a single Node app that can act as different things depending on the way it is invoked, e.g.:

• node index.js app1 serve: serve remix app called app1
• node index.js app2 serve: serve remix app called app2
• node index.js db transfer d1.conn.json db2.conn.json: run some headless program

I specifically don't want multiple packages. Ideally the directory structure would be something like this with shared dependencies in a package.json:

app1/
  remix.config.ts
  server.ts
  app/
  ...
app2/
  remix.config.ts
  tiailwind.config.js
  postcss.config.js
  server.ts
  app/
  ...
db/
   transfer.ts
index.ts # <- entry point
tsconfig.json
package.json

I starting app1 or app2, the entry point would run the runExpress function defined in app1/server.ts or app2/server.ts.

I have tried a couple of things, but haven't really gotten anywhere and would thus be very thankful for suggestions or pointers on how to setup a project like this. Some specific questions:

• How do you run remix build on different directories with a central package.json (npm run app(1|2):build)?
• What does npm run app2:dev do (remix dev, txc watch?)?

Thanks!
