Testing changes on an existing plugin/widget

First, build the entire Create Figma Plugin project:

$ npm run build

Then, create symlinks to the local copy of the project in your existing plugin/widget (eg. my-project):

$ ls -a
create-figma-plugin  my-project
$ sh create-figma-plugin/scripts/symlink.sh create-figma-plugin my-project

Finally, build your plugin/widget:

$ cd my-project
$ npm run build
