How do i switch to a local version of a node_modules file that I've saved to desktop?

Question

I'm trying to make some changes to the react-rte text editor but can't test it...

I've noticed literally nothing is coming through to the client after putting in console.logs, alerts, new code etc.

How do i proxy (?) or bounce the requests to 1 or 2 specific files in node_modules, so the webapp/node server pull in my local file saved on my desktop eg desktop/my-edited-file.js.

Official File:

my-project:
    --node_modules/react-rte/lib/lib/EditorToolbar.js
      ▲ this file ▲
    --pkg json
    --ReadMe.md
    --yarn.lock
    --src/
    ----app.js
    ----header.js etc

Edited File:

/Users/DesLynham/desktop/myBalls.js

please help

Have you tried chanding the import to `/Users/DesLynham/desktop/myBalls.js`? (I'm not really thinking it'll work but it's a start to figure it out) — OliverRadini, Jan 24 '19 at 12:53

You can map any HTTP request to a local file on your computer using CharlesProxy's Map Local feature.
