fix(Package): Reduce package size

[bboure]

Hi,

I was investigating the size of my deployed packages that were getting quite big. In my investigation, I found out that this package is contributing to bloating my packages.

I identified two reasons:

1) Some @types packages sneaked into the prod dependencies, so they were installed even on prod (npm install --only=prod)

2) The Docs and all sorts of unnecessary files were included in the package published to npm making it 6.57 MB unpacked. After removing, the unpacked size is down to about 1M

Hey @bboure, thank you for the PR. I think it's a good idea. I've just pushed an additional commit to clean a few things up.

• Reset the two @types packages to their original version. We can update the versions in another PR if needed.
• Add docs/ to the .npmignore file instead of using the files setting just to be consistent. This means that the 4.6mb docs file will no longer be published (which is the aim of the PR) but will keep the src folder in the deployment which I think is sometimes useful.
• Remove a stray .tgz file that was added 😛

Once you've had a look, I will squash the commits into one before merging to keep things neat.

Actually I just remembered that those two @types packages were in the production dependencies because they are required if you are using typescript. In a few places we use types from Lodash in function signatures and I think typescript throws an error if the @types/lodash is not present.

Ideally we should use our own types but that is probably for another PR.

I've updated my commit.

Thanks for your feedback.

Sorry, looks like I went too fast with this one 😛

Yeah, the most important thing here is to remove the docs from the package.

LGTM like tit is now 👍

Thanks!
