To add a symlink from the project’s node_modules/ directory, you can use the ln -s command in the terminal. This creates a symbolic link that points to a specific directory or file. The symlink acts as a shortcut, allowing you to access the linked file or directory by using a different path.
Here’s an example:
$ ln -s /path/to/original /path/to/symlink
In the above command, replace /path/to/original with the path to the directory or file you want to symlink, and replace /path/to/symlink with the desired location and name of the symlink within the node_modules/ directory of your project.
For instance, let’s say you want to symlink a directory named my-component from the root of your project to the node_modules/ directory:
$ ln -s /path/to/my-component /path/to/project/node_modules/my-component
After running this command, a symlink called my-component will be created inside the node_modules/ directory of your project, pointing to the original my-component directory.
This can be useful, for example, when you want to reference a local development package/module within your project without publishing it to a package manager.
Note that creating symlinks may require administrative privileges on certain operating systems.
