Patches

This directory contains patches that are applied to our node_modules dependencies by patch-package.

The patches are applied automatically after every yarn install via the postinstall script (see scripts/frontend/postinstall.js), which runs patch-package.

Note: Do not delete this file. postinstall aborts if it is missing, which catches cases where the patches/ directory was not copied (e.g. in Docker builds). Having no .patch files is valid and only logs a warning, so keep this README in place even when the directory has no patches.

File naming

Each patch is named after the package and version it applies to, for example:

• package-name+1.2.3.patch patches package-name at version 1.2.3.
• @scope+package-name+1.2.3.patch patches the scoped package @scope/package-name at version 1.2.3.
• package-name+1.2.3+001+description.patch adds a trailing sequence number and description, used when a single package needs multiple patches.
