Modifying code

[cbayley]

My application has been using PrimeNG for some time. Whenever I install a new version using npm install, there are a couple of minor tweaks I have to make to it. Recently I upgraded to Angular 13 and PrimeNG 13.4. In the version I upgraded from (11.4), I was able to make the needed tweaks to the .js file located in the __ivy_ngcc__/fesm2015 folder. However, in the new version, this folder does not exist. I found a .mjs file located in an fesm2015 folder but changes to that file seemed to have no effect. So I'd like to know if and how I can make these minor changes to the installed PrimeNG.

As an aside, my application runs on a closed network (i.e., no internet access) where a mirror of the npm repository is available (which is how I was able to install) but no access to the gitlab repository. So rebuilding the application from the source code is not feasible.

Thank you for the help.

I was able to figure out the issue. In either Angular 12 or Angular 13, a caching mechanism was added so that if I ran my application via 'ng serve", the cached version of PrimeNG (and all other node_modeules) was used so any of the tweaks I made were not being picked up. Simply deleting the .angular/cache folder fixed the problem since the next time I started the app, the changes were there.
