How to use the library components?

[ancashoria]

Hi,
I'm looking at this https://github.com/marko-js/examples/tree/master/examples/library and it's looking like a great foundation to build my component library on, but I don't know where to go from here. How should we use these components in another Marko Run app for example?

Even a high level overview would be nice.
Thanks

@ancashoria we've got this section here about how tags are discovered (and specifically how tags from node_modules are discovered). Is this what you're looking for?

That's really helpful, now I just need to look into how to publish or link the library to the consuming marko project.
Thanks

@ancashoria you can publish Marko packages like any other npm package. If it's based on the library example, everything is publish ready. You just need to npm run build first, eg npm run build && npm publish (or whatever publishing pipeline you have to npm).

We personally like using https://github.com/changesets/changesets for managing releases / changelogs, but any tool to publish to npm should work fine as long as build happens first.
