A safer version of npm link.
npx link simply symlinks the target package as a dependency in the current project.
Unlike npm link, it doesn't install the target package globally or re-install project dependencies.
From the project you want to link a package to:
npx link <package-path>
npm link?Because npm link has foot guns that make it dangerous to use.
npx link point to ln?You must use npx v7 or higher. Check the version with npx -v.
In the obsolete npx v6, local binaries take precedence over npm modules so npx link can point to the native link/ln command:
$ npx link
usage: ln [-s [-F] | -L | -P] [-f | -i] [-hnv] source_file [target_file]
ln [-s [-F] | -L | -P] [-f | -i] [-hnv] source_file ... target_dir
link source_file target_file
To work around this, install link globally first:
$ npm i -g link
$ npx link
