How to use local package rather than remote package in NodeJs

To use a local package instead of a remote package in Node.js, you can follow these steps:

1. Create a local package:

   • Create a new directory for your local package.
   • Inside the directory, create a package.json file with the necessary metadata and dependencies.
   • Implement your package’s functionality in the appropriate files.

2. Build the local package:

   • Run the build command for your local package, if necessary. This step depends on your specific package and build process.

3. Link the local package:

   • In the directory of your local package, run the following command to create a global symlink:

     npm link
     

4. Use the local package in your project:

   • In your project directory, run the following command to link the local package to your project:

     npm link {{package_name}}
     

     Replace {{package_name}} with the name of your local package as specified in its package.json file.

By following these steps, your project will use the local package instead of the remote package. The local package will be linked to your project, allowing you to import and use it as if it were a regular dependency.

Please note that when using a local package, any changes made to the local package’s source code will be reflected immediately in your project, as long as the local package is linked.
