Adds symlinks to the node_modules dir to fix component require() calls
Why? Cause there's some good, generic and reusable "component" code out there,
but the require()
calls in component don't quite match up to the calls in
NodeJS.
Install the add-component-symlinks
executable via npm:
$ npm install -g add-component-symlinks
The add-component-symlinks
executable traverses the node_modules
dir and looks
inside the installed modules for a component.json
file. If a component.json file
is found, then a symlink with the component name is added inside the
node_modules
directory.
$ npm install
$ add-component-symlinks
$ ls -l node_modules/
