|
| 18 |
<p>Package linking is a two-step process.</p> |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
<p>Without parameters, link will create a globally-installed
|
| 21 |
symbolic link from <code>prefix/package-name</code> to the current folder.</p> |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
<p>With a parameters, link will create a symlink from the local <code>node_modules</code> |
| 24 |
folder to the global symlink.</p>
|
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
<p>When creating tarballs for <code>npm publish</code>, the linked packages are |
| 27 |
"snapshotted" to their current state by resolving the symbolic links.</p> |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
<p>This is
|
| 30 |
handy for installing your own stuff, so that you can work on it and test it |
| 31 |
iteratively without having to continually rebuild.</p>
|
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
<p>For example:</p> |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
<pre><code>npm.commands.link(cb) # creates global link from the cwd |
| 36 |
# (say redis package) |
| 37 |
npm.commands.link('redis', cb) # link-install the package</code></pre> |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
<p>Now, any changes to the redis package will be reflected in
|
| 40 |
the package in the current working directory</p>
