“pip install -e .” equivalent for npm/typescript/react












0















I'm developing a central set of React (Typescript) components that need to be imported from several other projects that are in development as well. When I face this type of situation in Python, I would use pip install -e . from the virtual env of each dependent project. Then I can use from central_package import xyz from wherever.



What is the equivalent procedure for React/Typescript? I have tried npm link, but there seems to be an issue with importing the components:



Element type is invalid: expected a string (for built-in components) or a class/function (for composite components) but got: undefined. You likely forgot to export your component from the file it's defined in, or you might have mixed up default and named imports.



I'm assuming some particular setup is required.

          There is no global dependency pattern supported. Each project that depends on e.g. react will have it as a devDependency.
