Angular6/7 upgrade: no longer able to play with vendor code

[Peter Hsu]

Hi Angular

I recently upgraded my app from angular 1.7.4 to 7.1.2 but I run into some difficulties.

I used to be able to ``ng serve`` my app and then go into ``node_modules`` directory and temper with the vendor code for diagnostic purpose. The angular live development service would be able to detect my change and recompile on the spot. I find it extremely useful.

However, after I switch to 7.1.2, I can no longer do that. I tried to insert debug code in ``node_module`` directory or even go into the ``dist`` directory and try changing ``vendor.js`` and nothing seem to work. How do you debug dependencies?

thanks

Hi Peter,

You grab de dependency from its source and build your own version of them. Then you use npm/yarn link to pull it in your project.  

Fiddling around in node_modules is tricky at least.  Most 3rth parties pull in a minimized/optimized resource.
