🤓 Question

Hi, I making a PoC of a Meta project, basicly I have 3 repos and all of them uses our private components library which is in another repo, what would be the best way to link my repos with the library repos using Meta ? I tried to search for some article or documentation about it but was unnable to find something.

Thanks in advance.

You'll want meta npm link

@mateodelnorte are there docs on that somewhere?

mateodelnorte commented 4 years ago

Yup. Right in the readme: https://www.npmjs.com/package/meta#want-to-help-develop-meta-locally

My bad, I just read the Header of the section and assumed that wasn't what I was looking for. Thanks guys.

people ask about linking a lot - readme could probably be more clear, as the title does seem to be a specific use case - happy to accept a PR to the README if you're trying it out @gfsd3v and want to document it better?

Also in the cmd help for meta npm. https://github.com/mateodelnorte/meta-npm

This is assuming you're using npm and node. For other platforms, you can create a Makefile target that uses loop to perform linking operations using whatever tool you need.

Overall, what I'd really love is a way to have the README files of each of the plugins by dynamically stitched into consolidated documentation for meta. That would be great.

@patrickleet sure thing, I'll try it out as soon as I get home, I'll probably need a couple of days to try it out and write a documentation about it.
