react-dock package potentially "bloated" with types in dependencies instead of devDependencies

[nathanmmiller]

Is there a good reason why react-dock has @types packages in dependencies rather than devDependencies?

The impact is that it swells package.json when using yarn1 and explicitly including the same @types packages in devDependencies in a project, even with flexible versioning.

I'm happy to raise a PR to fix this if there's not a valid reason for it.

It is intentional. When a library's declaration files depend on the types from a certain package then the types package needs to go in dependencies, not devDependencies (1) (2).

Ok then!
