How to share the types correctly?
Hey everyone, I have a basic question regarding sharing types between my Fastify back-end and my Expo front-end. I'm using a monorepo and I'm using pnpm workspaces. My back-end package.json includes: 
  "types": "dist/types.d.ts",
  "exports": {
    "./trpc": "./src/types.ts"
  },
  "types": "dist/types.d.ts",
  "exports": {
    "./trpc": "./src/types.ts"
  },
And types.ts: 
export type { AppRouter } from "./routers/_app";
export type { AppRouter } from "./routers/_app";
Inside my package.json for my front-end I do: 
    "@myrepo/api": "workspace:*",
    "@myrepo/api": "workspace:*",
This works fine and as expected until I try to use path aliases inside my back-end. I understand why this breaks, but is there a way around it? Is my initial setup already wrong?
