Setup the project so it's easy to develop and test this nextjs library

[frouo]

Please, help.

Problem

Right now I have no proper solution:

• I tried to use npm link but, for every changes in next-markdown/src/index.ts, I need to execute cd examples/blogging && rm -rf node_modules/next-markdown && npm link. Very painful.
• copy/paste next-markdown/src/index.ts and use it locally in an example, so when I am done, I copy/paste back to next-markdown/src. Very painful and ugly...
• I cannot write tests. I tried exporting a next-markdown function (eg. export getNextmdFromFilePath = (..)=>{..}) but import { getNextmdFromFilePath } from '../'; in file __tests__/index.test.ts failed with error Module '"../index"' has no exported member 'getNextmdFromFilePath'

Wanted

I don't have the time (and knowledge yet) to setup properly the project this way:

• ability to write tests...
• live test: everytime next-markdown/src/index.ts changes, tests are ran
• dev mode with lie reloading: having a project where everytime next-markdown/src/index.ts changes, the project updates
• code splitting. For now if I create for example an utility file next-markdown/src/utility.ts the published npm library does not work (module not found)

Thank you

Any help is much than appreciated 🙏

all done - running tests on each change is kind of overkill. Setting up some pre-push githooks might be a better solution.

Re-opened: NPM published package once installed in the project is not working (with error Error: Directory import '/Users/frouo/Programming/Lembot/app/node_modules/next-markdown/dist/utils' is not supported resolving ES modules imported from/Users/frouo/Programming/Lembot/app/node_modules/next- markdown/dist/index.is cf. screenshot below).

Attempted to fix this with #10 & #11 but where it fixes something here and breaks somewhere else...
