At some point, you'll likely need to modify the library. When that happens, your best friend will be npm link.

Important Note: Simply linking from the repo root won't work because the source files are in ./src. Instead, you'll need to:

1. First package the library using make pack
2. Then link it from the ./dist directory

While this isn't the most developer-friendly workflow, you can improve it by creating a script that:

• Symlinks all files/directories from ./src to another location
• Also links package.json and package-lock.json

Quick Start Guide

# Package and link the library
make pack
cd dist
npm link

# Link to your project
cd /path/to/your/project/js  # Navigate to your project's JS directory
npm link foris
