wip - examples management script

[kennedybaird]

Following up on #8462, I did a simple POC for a script that updates all the dependencies in the examples directories.

The intention is this would be triggered alongside prepare-release.js. It requires that the package versions are updated to work correctly.

scripts/update-example-dependencies.js:

1. iterates through the packages/* directories, getting the current package version for each
2. extracts all catalog versions from pnpm-workspace.yaml
3. iterates (recursively) through examples/* looking for package.json, and updating with the values from 1 / 2
   • if @prisma/client is updated, it triggers rebuilding GraphQL and Prisma schemas, which will avoid issues like 5311203

To test:

1. checkout this branch
2. delete examples/assets-local/schema.graphql
3. run pnpm i - this will fail due to missing file above
4. run node scripts/update-example-dependencies.js
   • note, this will trigger generating prisma for all examples, on consequent runs it would only trigger if prisma client is updated
5. run pnpm i - all should be fine

To improve:

• I would solve for fixPrismaPath and example-data so that CodeSandbox works
• I would probably look at this making its own commit

Any feedback appreciated, I like these kinds of automations, but I know they're not popular with everyone - in my books they fall inside the reducing complexity category.

We do have @changeset/cli in the repository, which manages this same automation when configured to - the problem has been misconfiguration.

I think they fall in the adding of complexity category 😅 , but I see @changesets/cli in the same boat - and I'd be hesitant to use both.

I will verify the current behaviour of pnpm changeset version

See #9269 for reverting the pnpm version syntax for now, and maybe fixing this for pnpm changeset version, but we'll see how that plays out
