@piotar/pkg-sync NPM

pkg-sync

node-current (scoped) NPM

A utility for synchronization multiple packages, without any symlinks and any changes in source projects(package.json, etc.).

It is a simple application to watching and copying files from project to another project using CLI.

Installation

npm install -g @piotar/pkg-sync

Usage

In some cases, we can not use symbolic links for dependencies. The solution is to copy build files to our project and test it locally.

Example

We have a main project (App) and 2 dependencies (Ui and Store) with difference locations (this is not monorepository).

~
├── projects
│   └── App
│       ├── node_modules
│       ├── package.json
│       └── etc...
└── external
    ├── Ui
    │   ├── node_modules
    │   ├── package.json
    │   └── etc...
    └── Store
        ├── node_modules
        ├── package.json
        └── etc...

First of all, we need to add dependencies to pkg-sync.

Go to directories ~/external/Ui and ~/external/Store.
Run command pkg-sync add . with each directory.
Go to ~/projects/App directory.
Run command pkg-sync sync .. This will copy dependency files and start watching for changes.

That's it... Points 1-2 are only necessary for the first run.
