What is the best way to fix if there is a bug in the npm package of the thirdparty library?

Question

JavaScript

Please tell me, what can I do if I need to make changes to a third-party library so that there is a minimum of difficulties in the future? For example, there is a glitch in some ui library, you can go to node_modules , find the dist folder of either and fix it in it, it will work on the local computer, but when someone spools the repository from the github, he will have this glitch. Is there a sample postinstall script to change the file in node_modules to a pre-saved patched file? Or a smarter way? Maybe you have come up with some kind of utility for such cases?

Answer 2

Fork, fix, specify your fork in the dependencies instead of the original package.

Answer 3

Make a pull request to fix the bug.
