Linker

A script for developing packages locally using yarn when working with polyrepos

currently only works for linux machines

Example Repo includes the below configuration.

  • Projects A and B are apps (with react-dom)
  • Projects C and D are libraries (no react-dom)

  • project-a is the main host app

  • project-b is linked to the host app, and has two symlinks inside its node_modules looking at libraries project-c and project-d

  • project-c is a library that imports library project-d

  • project-d is listed as a symlink in both project-b and project-c, but has no symlinks itself (null). This typically indicates that project-d is just a library

  • Changes in project-d will be reflected in both library project-c and app project-b in watch/dev mode
