Readme
This command line is to solve the problem of npm/yarn link
: the linked package has its own node_modules
, which results in a lots of issues relate to dupplicate modules.
Similar to npm link
or yarn link
but instead of symlink the entire package, npm-link-watch
watch and sync specific directories/files inside the package.
How to use
Use it similar to npm/yarn link
:
# Run at package `x`:
npx npm-link-watch ./lib
# Run at the project that has `x` as a dependency:
npx npm-link-watch x
# --> a watcher will watch and sync `x/lib` to `<current_project>/node_modules/x/lib`.
Your machine already has
npx
if you installed NodeJS version 6 or newer. In case you don't want to typenpx
all the time, runnpm install -g npm-link-watch npm-unlink-watch
Notice: If your package has just installed new dependencies, you then have to install those dependencies into your project as well.
API
npx npm-link-watch <...path>
...path
: strings of relative paths (start with./
), separated by space.Save symbolic links of the specified
path
s into a global directory (~/.npm-link-watch
). Run at the package you want to link and watch
npx npm-link-watch <...package-name>
...package-name
: strings of package names (exact string inpackage.json#name
), separated by space.Start a watcher that watch and sync directories/files from
package-name
to<current_project>/node_modules/package-name
. Run at the project that haspackage-name
as an installed dependency.
npx npm-unlink-watch <...package-name>
...package-name
: strings of package names (exact string inpackage.json#name
), separated by space.Remove the symbolic links saved by
npx npm-link-watch <...path>
. The comand also attempts to restore the synced content inside<current_project>/node_modules/package-name
, but this may not consistent for all cases. For more consistent, you should runyarn install --force
