pnpm link

别名: ln

使当前本地包可在系统范围内或其他位置访问。

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

配置项​

--dir <dir>, -C​

  • 默认值：当前工作目录
  • 类型：路径

将 link 位置改为 <dir>.

从执行此命令的路径或通过 <dir> 指定的文件夹，链接package到node_modules中。

例如，如果你正处于 ~/projects/foo 目录下并执行了 pnpm link --dir ../bar ，则 foo 将会被链接到 bar/node_modules/foo 。

pnpm link --global​

将此命令在执行的位置或通过–dir选项指定的位置链接到全局的node_modules，这样它就可以通过pnpm link --global <pkg>从另一个软件包中引用。 此外，如果软件包具有bin字段，则软件包的二进制文件将在系统范围内可用。

pnpm link --global <pkg>​

将指定的包（<pkg>）从全局 node_modules 链接到 package 的 node_modules，从该 package 中执行或通过 --dir 选项指定。

pnpm link <dir> 与 pnpm link --dir <dir>的不同​

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>.

# 当前目录是 foo
pnpm link ../bar

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

# 当前目录是 bar
pnpm link --dir ../foo

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

Use Cases​

将已安装的软件包替换为本地版本​

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 # install dependencies of foo
pnpm link --global # link foo globally
cd ~/projects/my-project
pnpm link --global foo # link foo to 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 # install dependencies of foo
cd ~/projects/my-project
pnpm link ~/projects/foo # link foo to my-project

全局添加二进制文件​

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 # install dependencies of foo
pnpm link --global # link foo globally

When you use pnpm link, the linked package is symlinked from the source code. You can modify the source code of the linked package, and the changes will be reflected in your project. With this method pnpm will not install the dependencies of the linked package, you will have to install them manually in the source code. This may be usefull 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.

提示

When dealing with peer dependencies it is recommended to use the file: protocol. It better resolves the peer dependencies from the project dependencies, ensuring that the linked dependency correctly uses the versions of the dependencies specified in your main project, leading to more consistent and expected behaviors.
