Is there a way to make webpack dashboard not a dependency?

[robin-pham]

Webpack dashboard is dependent on inspectpack which is dependent on better-sqlite3 which is really heavy and slows down the yarn installation process by a ton. Is there a way to completely get rid of webpack-dashboard as a dependency?

this would be great actually

+1 actually will be better to remove all the dependencies and make it optional with configuration if you need this install that

The webpack dashboard also has a nested dependency on lzz-gyp which specifies the GPL-3.0 license which many companies avoid.

  └─┬ webpack-dashboard@1.0.2
    └─┬ inspectpack@2.2.2
      └─┬ better-sqlite3@4.0.3
        └── lzz-gyp@0.4.2
