better-sqlite3
is an optionalDependencies
, so we're not breaking anyone if the install fails.
We'll definitely accept a PR that has prebuilt binaries or something that still gives up sqlite while omitting the build step.
Thanks! Even if my system can run better-sqlite3
successfully, I just don't want the additional build time. I'd prefer it if the dependency wasn't listed at all, and then the documentation informs users that if they'd like caching, they must include install better-sqlite3
in their package.json
.
It boils down to this issue; we can't yet ignore optional dependencies in package.json
. If we ever can, then I could ignore webpack-dashboard
and inspectpack
's optionalDependencies
and this wouldn't be an issue.
Removed library in inspectpack@^3
.
I was using
webpack-dashboard
, but since the 1.x.x releases, it appearsinspectpack
now depends/installsbetter-sqlite3
?better-sqlite3
dependency seems to only include source, and must compile on every npm install. Is there an alternative with prebuilt binaries or can this dependency be omitted somehow? It appears I'm not the only one who requests this.
