Creating a local ReactJS library and importing it in another project (using npm)
I have created one local library project 'uilibrary' using create-react-app and importing this in another react project ('actualproject').
Both the project folders are in 'root' folder as follows:
root
/uilibrary
/actualproject
The uilibrary project has following structure:
/uilibrary
/src
/lib
/TopBar
index.js
index.js
I am exporting ToolBar from /uilibrary/index.js as follows:
import TopBar from "./lib/TopBar";
export { TopBar };
In the 'actualproject' react project I have following in "package.json":
{
...
"dependencies": {
"uilibrary": "file:../uilibrary"
}
...
}
In the 'actualproject' importing ToolBar from uilibrary does not work:
import TopBar from 'uilibrary';
Above code gives following error:
Cannot find module: 'uilibrary'. Make sure this package is installed.

Yes, "npm link" should work but ideally this should work as well: docs.npmjs.com/files/package.json#local-paths
