meta-npm

npm plugin for meta

Using meta npm link && meta npm link --all enables a lerna-like experience for local development by creating symlinks so each project uses the development version of any other project in the meta repo:

For example, meta itself is developed in this way:

# install meta
npm i -g meta

# clone and enter the meta repo
meta git clone git@github.com:mateodelnorte/meta.git
cd ./meta

# install plugins
npm install

# run install for all child repos
meta npm install

# create symlinks to/from all child repos
meta npm link --all

# link meta itself globally
npm link
