Module dependencies when developing a plugin

Discord Q&A strapi-questions
1

Let’s say I develop a plugin acme-test. This plugin needs a yarn dependency on xyz.

  • I yarn add xyz inside of the plugin
  • Then start yarn strapi-plugin watch:link

On the main project:

  • yarn dlx yalc add --link acme-test && yarn install

This does not add my plugin dependencies into the node_modules of the main project so I get module not found errors when booting up Strapi.

For now I am adding my dependencies on the strapi instance as well but that seems wrong. Not sure what I am missing …

What’s the correct way to handle this?

Thanks!
