Hi @s-vamshi,

While .npmignore seems like a viable option to overcome the issue, i think we can resolve this with a simple files entry in the package.json.

Have you considered that option?

IMO, since we don't go into granular level to which files in include, rather we can just simply include dist, package.json, README, better to go for the files option.

Additionally, we could also copy the LICENSE file at the root to the lib folder, and include that as well in the distribution.

WDYT?

Hey @brionmario, I agree with you, as lib folder didn't have .gitignore I thought of going with .npmignore.

I will add files section in package.json and push them!

Cool 🙌

Lets duplicate the LICENSE inside lib and include that as well :)

Thanks @s-vamshi for the contribution 🎉

Looks like the fix is working as expected. If time permits, please try the released version in a React app and do a regression test round!

Thanks @s-vamshi for the contribution. This just reduced the package size by 10% (744KB -> 659KB). Great work!
