Sometimes Link needs a little help from Zelda.
- Install it globally.
npm install -g zelda
- Run
zelda
from your node project directory. For example:
cd ~/code/my-project
zelda
zelda
finds all the node packages in your code folder (~/code/
in the example). If any of these packages are listed as a dependency in the nearest package.json
of your working directory, it automatically symlinks it for you.
Zelda assumes that all your code lives in the directory one level up from the folder where you run zelda
. So, keep all your packages in a single folder like ~/code
and run zelda
inside one of the projects (ex: ~/code/my-project
).
- Clone a cool project.
mkdir ~/code
cd ~/code
git clone [email protected]:feross/webtorrent.git
- Clone the project dependencies you plan to work on.
git clone [email protected]:feross/bittorrent-protocol.git
git clone [email protected]:feross/bittorrent-swarm.git
git clone [email protected]:feross/bittorrent-dht.git
- Recursively
npm install
all project dependencies, butnpm link
the ones that are local.
cd webtorrent
zelda
Gone are the days of running tons of npm link
commands by hand!
- Automatically
npm link
all your modules together - Supports
dependencies
,devDependencies
, andoptionalDependencies
- Recursively runs
npm install
so your freshly cloned projects are ready to go!
