Once you have a library set up, ie built and linked into your global node_modules (See npm-link-instructions in commons-ecosystem), you can link that library into your project.
These are the steps:
- Make sure the dependency you want to link exists in the package.json (@commons/ecosystem does already)
- Link the dependency
npm link <dependency>e.g.npm link @wip-abramson/ecosystem - There is a problem that occurs using React Hooks to inject state through a linked component. This can be fixed by using npm link on the react module in node modules see this issue.
That's it. You can check it has linked properly, as well as the contents of what was linked in the node_modules folder. Linked dependencies show a small black arrow over the folder.
You should now be able to have this project running locally, make a change locally to the library, rebuild the library and the project should recompile in the browser.
