How do you install a NPM package from your local filesystem?
yarn add file:/path/to/my/local/npm/package

Cool, now I made changes to my local NPM package, how can I get these modifications in my Rails packs?
I’m developing for the @fnix/gcs-browser-upload package.
This package has a Makefile and I need to run make compile to get the file dist/Upload.js. After this, in my Rails application I need to run the yarn upgrade command: yarn add file:/path/to/my/local/npm/package
Is this the end?
No, unfortunately! Probably you are running webpack-dev-server, so you have to restart it to get recompiled packs. Now you can hit F5 and get your fresh code running!
Probably there are better workflows for this, but for now is what I can do :|
If you have any improvement to share, I will be glad to hear!
