Important Implementation Details

pnpm store-dir

This is opinionated, but I dislike the pnpm store being in the workspace along with your code as it adds clutter. This feature sets the pnpm store-dir config to ~/.pnpm-store, so it's out of sight. The home directory will be based on the remoteUser of the base image you have.

Ensuring pnpm is installed

This feature does not install pnpm by itself and expects pnpm to be installed already, either by a base image or by a feature. If pnpm is not installed, it just gives a warning (you'll have a random ~/.pnpm-store folder in your home directory and the pnpm store-dir config will not be set) but does not fail.

If you are installing pnpm with a feature, you may need to ensure it is run before mount-pnpm-store. I have set a soft dependency on ghcr.io/devcontainers/features/node already, but if it is any other feature that installs pnpm you might need to put some extra work.

To make this work, use the overrideFeatureInstallOrder property, since the default feature installation order is based on ID (alphanumerically i think). Here is an example using a fake unknown-install-pnpm:

    "image": "mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/base:bullseye",
    "features": {
        "ghcr.io/random-user/devcontainer-features/unknown-install-pnpm:1": {},
        "ghcr.io/joshuanianji/devcontainer-features/mount-pnpm-store:1": {}
    },
    "overrideFeatureInstallOrder": [
        "ghcr.io/random-user/devcontainer-features/unknown-install-pnpm", 
        "ghcr.io/joshuanianji/devcontainer-features/mount-pnpm-store"
    ]

Volume Mount Naming

The volume mount is called global-devcontainer-pnpm-store, so ensure that no other docker volumes match this name.
