Package management

Local testing

Testing this package as a dependency is easy with Yalc:

# Install (depending on your preferred package manager)
npm i yalc -g
yarn global add yalc
pnpm add -g yalc

# Build this library, as usual:
pnpm build

# "Publish" this library locally (run in this directory)
yalc publish

# Link the locally "published" version of ProperDate.js (run in the consuming app/library)
## This will copy the local version of this library into the `.yalc` folder and modify your
## package.json to look for this library there.  You will want to add `.yalc` to your `.gitignore`,
## and be sure to change back to the real published version before shipping.
yalc add @still-forest/proper-date.js

# As needed: update the locally "published" package
yalc update @still-forest/proper-date.js
yalc update # all packages in yalc.lock

# When done
## In consuming app/library:
yalc remove @still-forest/proper-date.js
yalc remove --all # all packages in yalc.lock

## In this package:
yalc installations clean @still-forest/proper-date.js # unpublish / reverts yalc publish
