Remove Dependency to Rescript #3

Open lydell opened 2 years ago

lydell commented 2 years ago

The package.json has rescript as a dependency:

https://github.com/Orasund/elm-pen/blob/a470dc2f693979b89473dcea087cc1711cc0b332/package.json#L32

It’s 190 MB to download: https://packagephobia.com/result?p=rescript

Is it really needed? Should it be in devDependencies instead? Also, maybe one can exclude the .res files from the npm package?

(Also note that "prepublish" is deprecated: https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v8/using-npm/scripts#prepare-and-prepublish)

Hi, thanks for that question. Rescript comes with Runtime libaries, that is why it is nessary.

I do not know of a way to compile rescript without these runtime libaries. My goal is to move to Elm at some point.

So yeah, your comment is noted. I will be leaving this issue open until I know for sure if I will stick with reasonML or not.

I've also switched prepublish to prepublishOnly. Thanks.
