Testing while developing local

Testing locally with another project

In the website-build-tools library path use npm link to add the project to the local npm registry.

cd ./route-to-library
npm link

In the project's folder that you want to use this library, use npm link @aptuitiv/website-build-tools to install the package locally.

npm link @aptuitiv/website-build-tools

If you need to update the rets-client library do the following.

Unlink the project

You should unlink the local project for any of these situations:

• You are switching branches.
• You are adding or removing node modules in this project. (This doesn't apply if you're adding or removing node modules in the project that uses this library.)
• You want to use the live version of this package from NPM.

First, in the project that uses this library:

npm unlink @aptuitiv/website-build-tools --no-save

The --no-save flag keeps the original live version of this package from NPM.

Then, in this package:

npm unlink
