Lets say that I find an NPM package that works almost perfectly for my needs, however there is a little alteration that I need from it. Obviously when I do an NPM update or as such I don't want it to revert to whatever version was in my package json so I need to remove it from my dependency's.

Will Webpack know were to look for those specific node imports/requires or will I need to move the relevant files somewhere into my own project and alter said imports?

Let's put it this way: you can import the package, then override the function you want changed. Just do something like `thepackage.someFunction = () => { /* your version */ };` – Sep 10 '18 at 11:43

the proper way would probably be to fork the repo on github, implement your changes, and reference it in your package json – givehug Sep 10 '18 at 11:56
