This is exactly what I mean. Looking at the repo there are a ton of packages in `node_modules` dir for a lib that should have 0 to a handful of dependencies.
People will be more likely to use this lib if it's cleaned up a bit. I'm pretty new to using JS/npm and one of my least favorite parts of it this:
npm install some-package
1400 packages installed
So seeing packages that have a bunch of stuff in their node_modules gives me pause about using it, especially when it's not clear to me why it would need all those things.
- danielrw7 9y agoYeah, it's very easy for npm dependencies to get out of hand. What I didn't notice when I made my comment (and what you commented on) was that the node_modules dir was actually added to the git project. If that were removed (and a .gitignore line added) and the package.json dependencies were fixed then it should truly have no dependencies upon install.
- helb 8y agoYep, it's a bit uncommon to store node_modules in git these days (since we have npm shrinkwrap). I've sent a PR, and another one to stop the message disappearing with unsupported color. Also, the package author is 12 years old (http://talonbragg.com/ http://talonbragg.com/). I'd say this stuff is pretty impressive.
