I'm not saying you should firewall everything. But if it make sense, you do so. You also need someones that understand each core deps enough they can patch it if the maintainers won't resolve an issue (happens more in the npm world). Even with React, you can extract the business logic and reuse it elsewhere. The goal is to avoid depending that much on projects that have less stability than yours (some bad experiences here with React Native). How you do it is contextual, but you should keep it in mind.
- afro88 3y agoAh I see now, you took issue with the example specifically, rather than the point. You're right, I see how it's a bad example, and what you've laid out is a very good way of handling dependencies.
