Devsync

Sync your own npm library directly into the package which depends on it. This is like npm link but no symlink and temporally.

Use case

Devsync might be useful in such a case:

• You have a main application your-app
• your-app has a dependency to your-library
• Adds features, or fixes bug on your-library
• Needs to update your-library in your-app locally, without git push or npm publish

Installation

via GitHub

$ npm install -g cognitom/devsync

Usage

Go to your-library directory and run devsync:

$ cd ~/Git/your-library
$ devsync

The example above assumes that you have a directory structure like this:

• ~/Git/your-app: Your main application
• ~/Git/your-library: Your library internally used in your-app

If you're working on the project at Desktop, you could devsync like this:

$ cd ~/Git/your-library
$ devsync -t ~/Desktop/your-temporary-project

To watch and automatically devsync, -w flag would be useful:

$ cd ~/Git/your-library
$ devsync -w

CLI options

--target / -t

--cwd / -c

--watch / -w

--silent / -s

JavaScript API

const
  devsync = require('devsync')

devsync({
  cwd: 'path/to/your-library',
  target: 'path/to/your-app'
})
