peerlink

Offers npm link functionaltiy for developing with peerDependencies.

Install

$ npm install -g peerlink

Usage

Using peerlink is typically a three-step process.

First, you'll need to start the peerlink daemon. This daemon tracks any linked folders you've set up and does the work of keeping everything in sync.

$ peerlink-daemon

Next, in the root of some module you want to link, setup the link. This adds the module to the daemon's watch-list.

$ cd [root of your module]
$ peerlink

Finally, in the location where you want to sync the linked module, link the module. This tells the daemon that you want to maintain a synced version of the named module here.

$ cd [development directory]
$ peerlink [module-name]

Now, when you make changes in the linked directory, the peerlink daemon will copy them into node_modules/[module-name].

Configuration

By default, peerlink will save configuration in ~/.peerlink.json. An alternative to using the peerlink cli to setup links is to edit this file directly.
