# Link A JavaScript Package Locally
|
|
|
|
If you are putting together a JavaScript package and you'd like to test it
|
|
out locally before putting it on NPM, use `npm link`.
|
|
|
|
First, from the directory of the package you are creating run:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ npm link
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will symlink the package to the global node modules directory.
|
|
|
|
Then, from the base project directory that you want to try importing and
|
|
using the package from, run:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ npm link name-of-package
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will create an additional symlink from the global node modules
|
|
directory to the `node_modules` of this target project.
|
|
|
|
You'll now have access to the project, try an `import` to get what you need
|
|
and try it out.
