package.json doesn't contain all the required packages.

I'm using pnpm. When I try to run the generated project, multiple Module not found errors show up. These required packages do not present in package.json but only as the dependences of others. Here is the pnpm explanation of this problem.

Huh, that means we'd need to put more than 700 dependencies into package.json - I doubt we wanna do that. @Zaid-Ajaj @MangelMaxime have you heard of pnpm? Is there any other solution to the outlined problem?

Hello, I heard of it and never used it.

I find their idea of how to manage the npm modules interested but in the end as you said it would means pulling a LOT of dependencies into the package.json and for me it just looks like manually handling the dependencies...

I think that SAFE-Template made the choice in v2 to simplify the templates and only support npm out of the box. For example, I don't see an arguments for yarn anymore.

I think like for yarn the user when he wants to use pnpm he will need to adapt the project. For yarn, it simply means deleting package-lock.json and running yarn install. For pnpm it requires more work :shrug:

Maybe my description was not clear. You don't need to put every package from package-lock.json . But you need to make sure every package that is imported present in package.json . When using npm you can not only import packages in package.json but also their dependencies, which may result in silly bugs.

Hmm I see what you mean. That actually makes a lot of sense. Do you have a list of the specific package(s) that should be added to package.json?

[Jason5Lee]

As I know the following packages are enough. 'jsan' 'object-assign' 'rn-host-detect' 'scheduler' 'socketcluster-client' 'ag-channel' 'ag-request' 'async-stream-emitter' 'clone-deep' 'linked-list' 'sc-errors' 'sc-formatter' 'stream-demux' 'uuid' 'consumable-stream' 'is-plain-object' 'kind-of' 'shallow-clone' 'writable-consumable-stream'

I still don't get this. Why would you need to include transitive dependencies (i.e. those that you don't use directly) in package.json?

And I don't know what you're trying to say here:

You don't need to put every package from package-lock.json . But you need to make sure every package that is imported present in package.json

These packages ARE used directly. Npm just allows you to directly import the dependencies of the dependencies, which is considered not a good design by pnpm.

Where in the template do you use any of the packages listed above?
