Local Development: primereact context is undefined

[lumo10]

I installed primereact locally and linked it to my Next.js app as described here https://github.com/primefaces/primereact/blob/master/DEVELOPMENT.md everythig works well except context, which is undefined even if I wrap my components with PrimeReactProvider and set some value to it.

step to reproduce:

1. create next-app
2. clone primereact master
3. follow the development guide to link primereact to next-app
4. in next-app app/layout wrap children with PrimeReactProvider and set value some value like {unstyled: true}
5. in next-app app/page create a simple prime react component like a button
6. run the script dev: "next dev" without --turbopack

expected result: a button doesn't have the primereact classes like 'p-button' because unstyled prop is set to true in a contex actual result: context is undefined so we can see primereact classes

I also experienced this and while I don't have a solution for link mode i can share what I found and what I do instead. NPM Link forces all internal dependencies to be included in every single file that uses them. We cant remove that because it causes resolution errors in link mode. I use yalc (https://github.com/wclr/yalc) instead.

Steps: 1: (only once)

npm run build:lib
cd dist
yalc publish

2: In the project you want to use local Primereact:

yalc add primereact

3: After your changes

npm run build:lib
cd dist
yalc push

4: To reset

yalc remove primereact
npm install primereact

This works without issues.

@gnawjaren any chance you could update https://github.com/primefaces/primereact/blob/master/DEVELOPMENT.md guide?
