TypeScript：从“ Y”导入{X}-如何替换/重定向Y

Question

I have an external library Y which is installed using npm and loaded from node_modules . It resides on GitHub. This is how I'm using it:

import { X } from 'Y';

I did a fork of Y and checked-out to a local folder/local git repository.

Now, I would like to use this local source code instead of an npm package. I dont want to modify my imports . Is there a way how to do that? I'm using TypeScript and angular-cli.

Answer 1

Use npm link - https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/link

It is a perfect and simple solution, no need to use file: references.
