How to install connectkit package locally for development

[aschenkel]

I want to work on this connectkit open issue.

What are the instructions I should follow in order to test my app with a local connectkit package while updating it?

thanks for wanting to contribute @aschenkel!

our readme shows how to set up the local examples:
https://github.com/family/connectkit?tab=readme-ov-file#running-examples-locally

though you may need to run yarn build before yarn dev:connectkit will work
we have a testbench with a lot of functionality you can use by running yarn dev:testbench along with yarn dev:connectkit

if you want to test on your own app running in a different project, you can target a local package via file: in your package.json after you've run yarn build command in the connectkit project.
example: "connectkit": "file:../connectkit/packages/connectkit"

ok, I was missing that yarn build step. I'll test that later today.

Thanks!
