How do I fork the package aws-amplify-react?

[brianarpie]

I want to fork the aws-amplify-react package to modify some of the components.

How do I fork just that package and include it in my project? I'm confused

@brianarpie There is currently not a way just to fork the aws-amplify-react package, you'll will need to fork the entire repo and make the changes needed inside of the aws-amplify-react package. However, I am curious on what changes you are looking for. Could you provide some insights into what you are looking to change? Im curious of UI Component Refactor will help you. Please let us know.

@sammartinez thanks for the reply! Right now I have "aws-amplify" and "aws-amplify-react" entries in my package.json. If I fork "aws-amplify" and replace the package.json to point to my forked git repo, how do I correct the "aws-amplify-react" entry so that I can still import components, e.g. import { SignIn } from 'aws-amplify-react';?

I just want to modify the link in the SignIn component that says "No account? Create account". I'm not sure if the issue you referenced would solve that.

Thanks

Hey @brianarpie, what are you trying to change that link to? With the new UI Component library @sammartinez mentioned above this may be possible depending on what you are trying to change the link to.

@jordanranz thanks for replying. I've ultimately stepped away from aws-amplify-react and am using aws-amplify with my own custom forms now. Thanks anyways!
