|

|
|
## Edit an installed package
|
|
|
|
### Synopsis
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm edit <pkg>[/<subpkg>...]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Description
|
|
|
|
Selects a (sub)dependency in the current
|
|
working directory and opens the package folder in the default editor
|
|
(or whatever you've configured as the npm `editor` config -- see
|
|
[`npm-config`](npm-config).)
|
|
|
|
After it has been edited, the package is rebuilt so as to pick up any
|
|
changes in compiled packages.
|
|
|
|
For instance, you can do `npm install connect` to install connect
|
|
into your package, and then `npm edit connect` to make a few
|
|
changes to your locally installed copy.
|
|
|
|
### Configuration

|
