Installing npm package from fork with yarn + webpack - Can't resolve './dist/
Unfortunately, using a repository directly as source can result in execution error. This is because it's not bundled at all, while the package expects an prebuilt version existing in dist
. The bundling scripts are often executed before publishing releases to npm.
Some workarounds are:
- execute the prepublish step in the target directory (this depends on what the project uses)
- of course, using the published version is the best. create your own package on npm and upload it.
