Is there some way of forcing peer dependencies to react-lite? about react-lite

Okay, I will begin converting my projects to webpack and let you know if I have any peer dep issues. Cheers.

Suggest using webpack.

It seems an issue of npm. Using webpack alias can help require supports alias in building but npm still install react instead of react-lite if the package has a peer dep of react. Most of time both react and react-lite will be installed in your project. Maybe you still need to work with react in development as react-lite's README suggests? BTW, I don't think npm is friendly enough to project developers, npm hopes everything is a package, which always confuses me.

@Lucifier129 Is this webpack configuration (as per the README) enough to override peer deps? If so feel free to close this.

// webpack.config.js
{
  resolve: {
    alias: {
      'react': 'react-lite',
      'react-dom': 'react-lite'
    }
  }
}

@isaachinman It will not override any deps in any package.json, just replaces react with react-lite for optimizing the script size when bundling.

[isaachinman]

Yes, but in theory browserify does this too. It is the peer deps that cause React to be bundled instead of react-lite.

I'm asking if you can confirm that this problem doesn't happen with webpack, because you suggested using it over browserify.

[Lucifier129]

@isaachinman Yes, I think using webpack will not hit the problem that you described above.
