While working on the mai-chai
module
I realized that I should be using
peerDependencies
.
The mai-chain
module expects that its consumer installs chai
, but it
does not really depend on it. This package.json
excerpt:
1"devDependencies": {
2},
3"dependencies": {
4 "chai": "^3.4.1",
5 "chai-equal-jsx": "^1.0.2",
6 "chai-spies": "^0.7.1",
7 "chai-string": "^1.1.3",
8 "dirty-chai": "^1.2.2"
9}
has to be replaced with the following:
1"devDependencies": {
2},
3"dependencies": {
4 "chai-equal-jsx": "^1.0.2",
5 "chai-spies": "^0.7.1",
6 "chai-string": "^1.1.3",
7 "dirty-chai": "^1.2.2"
8},
9"peerDependencies": {
10 "chai": "^3.4.1"
11}
Note that the reference to chai
was moved from dependencies
to peerDependencies
.
