npm install pnpm-patch-i
A better and interactive pnpm patch.
``bash`
npx pnpm-patch-i package-name
This CLI wraps with pnpm patch and provides a better interactive experience:
- Have the patch dir under your local node_modules/ folder instead of a global temp folderlaunch-editor
- More human-friendly folder name instead of random string
- Open the editing folder in your editor via pnpm commit-patch
- Wait for your changes and automatically run
for you
- Always runs at where pnpm-lock.yaml is located$3
It's also possible to apply a patch directly from a directory, for example:
`bash
npx pnpm-patch-i vite ../vite/packages/vite
`You can also use
--build (-b) flag to invoke npm run build in the source directory before applying the patch.> [!NOTE]
> If the source package is in a monorepo with custom linking, or using catalogs, directly applying the patch from a directory might resulting copying the linking where the current project might not be able to resolve.
> In that case, it's recommended to pack the source package into a tgz file and apply the patch from the tgz file with
--pack (-p`) flag.MIT License © 2023 Anthony Fu
