Remove unnecessary dependencies #751
Description
Update: claimed by @Alamgird
Now that we have a monorepo structure, we can pull out some of the small and annoying dependencies from packages/react-scripts/package.json into packages/react-dev-utils/package.json and provide helpers there instead.
I started this in #723 but packages/react-scripts/scripts/build.js is still pretty noisy, and we could extract the code to compare build sizes (and maybe something else) into react-dev-utils.
I recommend the following workflow:
- Look at
packages/react-scripts/package.json - See where these dependencies get used
- If they seem non-essential and too low-level, figure out how to hide them in
react-dev-utils - Repeat
This is a contributor issue. I don’t plan to work on this right now so please write a comment if you intend to take it. Please don’t start working without a comment so we don’t have many people solving the same problem.
If you need any help, ping me in this issue and I’ll be happy to reply or explain something.

You got it @Alamgird!

npm-check might be a good solution for this

I think they’re technically useful, it’s just that we don’t want them directly under
react-scriptsbecause its deps pollute the project after ejecting. We now have a utility module (react-dev-utils), and we should just extract things users won’t want to change there.Timer commentedon Mar 23, 2017
@Alamgird I'm going to open this back up unless if you are still interested in working on it.

Hey if this is still open, I'd like to work on it!

I think some progress was made, but there's always more potential @ppatel221. Feel free to look into it. 😄

I'll close as stale.
Move chalk dependency to react-dev-utils (react#6150)
