Patching Particle

It is possible to patch node_modules in use by Particle.

Requirements

• patch package adds the ability to patch packages directly.

Installation

• npm i patch-package --save-dev

Usage

Add the following to your package.json file ins Particle:

 "scripts": {
  "postinstall": "patch-package"
 }

Make your changes directly in the node_module you wish to update. After doing your work, simply run npx patch-package package-name to capture your update. For example, you have patched a file in @pattern-lab/core, simply run npx patch-package @pattern-lab/core. This generates a patch directory at the root of Particle.

When you run npm install, the patch-package module will run with the postinstall script above, patching your npm package with the source from the patches directory. Make sure to monitor these patches for any stale patches and prune as projects are updated.
