Developing locally using this repository

You may wish to link this library directly to your projects while developing locally.

You can do this by cloning this repo to your local workspace:

git clone https://github.com/canonical/react-components

If you then drop into that folder and run:

yarn run link-packages

...this will add this project, react and react-dom to a local yarn registry.

Switching back to the project you are developing, run:

yarn install
yarn link react
yarn link react-dom
yarn link @canonical/react-components

...to pull the linked deps from the local registry. If you now run yarn build-watch in your react-components folder, your project should pick up any changes on refresh or hot module reload.

Note: When you're finished working locally - don't forget to go back and unlink:

cd react-components
yarn run unlink-packages
