npm link with peerDependencies

Project “sub-library” – package to be linked:

• package.json

{
  "name": "sub-package",
  ...
  "peerDependencies": {
    "moment": "^2.29.4"
  },
  ...
}

Project “main-project” – package to use package 1

• package.json

{
  "name": "main-package",
  ...
  "dependencies": {
    "moment": "^2.29.4"
  },
  ...
}

First, run the following command in the sub-library

sub-package$ npm link

Second, run the following command in the main-project

main-project$ npm link sub-package

Then, run the following command in the sub-library

sub-package$ npm link ../main-project/node_modules/moment

Now, the peer dependency moment will be available in the sub-library package.
