pnpm link

Aliases: ln

Hace que el paquete local actual sea accesible en todo el sistema, o en otra ubicación.

pnpm link <dir>
pnpm link --global
pnpm link --global <pkg>

Opciones

--dir &lt;dir>, -C

  • Default: Current working directory
  • Type: Path string

Changes the link location to <dir>.

Links package from <dir> folder to node_modules of package from where you're executing this command or specified via --dir option.

For example, if you are inside ~/projects/foo and you execute pnpm link ../bar, then a link to bar will be created in foo/node_modules/bar.

Links package from location where this command was executed or specified via --dir option to global node_modules, so it can be referred from another package with pnpm link --global <pkg>. Also if the package has a bin field, then the package's binaries become available system-wide.

Links the specified package (<pkg>) from global node_modules to the node_modules of package from where this command was executed or specified via --dir option.

pnpm link <dir> links the package from <dir> to the node_modules of the package where the command was executed. pnpm link --dir <dir> links the package from the current working directory to <dir>.

# The current directory is foo
pnpm link ../bar

- foo
- node_modules
- bar -> ../../bar
- bar

# The current directory is bar
pnpm link --dir ../foo

- foo
- node_modules
- bar -> ../../bar
- bar

Casos de uso

Reemplazar un paquete instalado con una versión local del mismo

Let's say you have a project that uses foo package. You want to make changes to foo and test them in your project. In this scenario, you can use pnpm link to link the local version of foo to your project, while the package.json won't be modified.

cd ~/projects/foo
pnpm install # instala las dependencias de foo
pnpm link --global # vincula foo globalmente
cd ~/projects/my-project
pnpm link --global foo # vincula foo a my-project

You can also link a package from a directory to another directory, without using the global node_modules folder:

cd ~/projects/foo
pnpm install # instala dependencias de foo
cd ~/projects/my-project
pnpm link ~/projects/foo # vincula foo a my-project

Añadir un binario globalmente

If you are developing a package that has a binary, for example, a CLI tool, you can use pnpm link --global to make the binary available system-wide. This is the same as using pnpm install -g foo, but it will use the local version of foo instead of downloading it from the registry.

Remember that the binary will be available only if the package has a bin field in its package.json.

cd ~/projects/foo
pnpm install # instala las dependencias de foo
pnpm link --global # vincula foo globalmente

When you use pnpm link, the linked package is symlinked from the source code. Usted puede modificar el código fuente del paquete vinculado y los cambios se reflejarán en su proyecto. Con este método, pnpm no instalará las dependencias del paquete vinculado, tendrá que instalarlas manualmente en el código fuente. This may be useful when you have to use a specific package manager for the linked package, for example, if you want to use npm for the linked package, but pnpm for your project.

When you use the file: protocol in dependencies, the linked package is hard-linked to your project node_modules, you can modify the source code of the linked package, and the changes will be reflected in your project. With this method pnpm will also install the dependencies of the linked package, overriding the node_modules of the linked package.

info

When dealing with peer dependencies it is recommended to use the file: protocol. Resuelve de mejor manera las dependencias peer de las dependencias del proyecto, asegurando que la dependencia vinculada usará correctamente las versiones de las dependencias especificadas en su proyecto principal, generando comportamientos más consistentes y esperados.
