Background: Sometimes I find the need to test the latest changes in the monorepo against a specific Sanity project, and symlinking the whole
@sanity
folder isn't a good solution because it "installs" dependencies that aren't really part of the equation. It also doesn't include plugins outside of the@sanity
scope.Solution: This PR adds a script that can be called from a project directory to replace the installed and declared packages with the ones from the monorepo. All packages that exist in the monorepo are first removed from
node_modules
in the given directory (to make up for hoisting shared dependencies). Then, each of the packages declared inpackage.json
are symlinked from the monorepo intonode_modules
directly. Once this is done, it's up to the developer to make sure compiled versions are available usingnpm run watch
ornpm run build
in the monorepo.
