i'm struggling to use npm link. in fact i have two local packages that i would like to use in my project.
on each of the packages I performed the sudo npm link command. when I do an npm -g list I can therefore see these packages and their reference.
When I make an npm link <my-package-1> in my project, this add a symbolic link of my first package in node_modules. So far, so good.
Only when I make an npm link <my-package-2> in my project. npm first removes the symbolic link from my first package in node_modules and after he create a symbolic link to the second package in node_modules. I don't know why but I can't have more than one package with the link in my project.
Also when I do an ls of my node_modules folder, I see that the symbolic link is directed to my package folder and not to the node_modules folder of my global npm.
Am I missing something? I thought that was exactly what made an npm link different from an npm i ../path/to/my/package.
Thank you and good day
Finally, I solved my issue with
npm link <my-package-1> <my-package-2>
But the symbolic link is directed to my package folder and not to the node_modules folder of my global npm.
