Split WireMock into multiple nuget packages depending on features #1071

Open asidorowicz opened 4 months ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. WireMock is currently a single monolithic dependency that pulls with it a very large amount of transitive dependencies, regardless of whether the features are used or not. This can be seen as a minor inconvenience, but enough for our team to have decided to use a different testing tool.

Describe the solution you'd like Split WireMock into separate dependencies depending on desired features, especially if the features require large transitive dependencies (eg: Graphql)

Describe alternatives you've considered We have tried to exclude non-used transitive dependencies, but it is a clunky solution.

@asidorowicz Good point. I'll think on this...

@asidorowicz If you have time, you can test preview version 1.5.48-ci-18384 which has separate NuGet for GraphQL, ProtoBuf and MimeKitLite.

@StefH Thank you for your work! I didn't expect such a quick response :) It is much better, though there are still many dependencies that I don't know whether they are part of the core functionality or could be add-ons. Either way, I believe it is an awesome step into a modular approach!

@asidorowicz I'll check if more packages can be extracted, however after some thinking, I want to take a slightly different approach.
