(with yarn)
working with a local version of a package
- change and build the consumed package locally
- link the consumed package in the consuming project
yarn link <local-path-to-consumed-package>
For more advanced use cases have a look at yalc.
use changes from local version
(… until changes are part of official package release :) )
- Create the Patch
yarn patch <package-name>
you will get the terminal output: “You can now edit the following folder: /tmp/…/user”
replace dist and lib folder with the equivalents from your local package copy
- Add the Patch
yarn patch-commit -s /tmp/.../user (as shown in the terminal output)
You will get a new file in your .yarn/patches folder and a resolutions entry in your package.json.

Perform an install with yarn
