Making difference between dependencies and dev-dependencies #463

There are a lot of dependencies. It would be useful to separate the dependencies from the dev-dependencies.

And why do you need babeljs?

owenashurst commented 1 year ago

Babel is used to convert ECMAScript 2015+ code into a backwards compatible versions of JavaScript. Aka so it can run on all browsers. It's pretty common in web development.

To answer your question of dev-dependencies, yes you are right they could be split out. Feel free to make a PR.
