Sooner or later you will face with situation when you want/need to make some
|
|
|
|
|
changes in the library. Then the most important tool for you it's
|
|
|
|
|
[`npm link`](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/link).

Please, notice that it will not work if you link library just from root of the
|
|
|
|
|
repo. It happens due to location of sources `./src`. You need to pack library
|
|
|
|
|
first `make pack` and then link it from `./dist` directory.

Yeah it's not such comfortable solution for development. But it can fixed by
|
|
|
|
|
writing small script similar as `make pack` but with linking every file and
|
|
|
|
|
directory from `./src` to the some directory and linking then from it. Notice
|
|
|
|
|
that you need to link `package.json` and `package-lock.json` as well.

So step by step:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
|
|
|
make pack;
|
|
|
|
|
cd dist;
|
|
|
|
|
npm link;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
cd $project_dir/js # Navigate to JS directory of the project where you want to link the library
|
|
|
|
|
npm link foris
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
And that's it ;)
