Add one more layer in .store for prod vs dev (vs others?) about pnpm HOT 7 CLOSED

seems like an interesting idea, but i'm wondering: what would be the practical use case of separating dev and prod dependencies apart from .dockerignore?

.gitignore as well – for when you want to check your prod dependencies in to git, but not your dev dependencies. I'm sure there are other ".ignore" files that could benefit from this too.

Any time you want to tar up / archive your project to transfer or deploy it anywhere else, basically.

There's an argument to be made that it makes it easier to navigate from a filesystem perspective – when you want to debug your modules, etc – you know you just need to worry about what's in the prod dir.

Interesting, but this is a lot more nuanced than it seems on the surface. What if both your prod and dev dependencies use [email protected], shouldn't it be present in both layers? which one gets precedence over the other?

I'd wait to see what npm comes up with to solve that solution. As they mentioned in npm/npm#9674, they're looking into it. I'm sure they're more knowledgeable about the ins and outs of this problem and the possible corner cases there can be.

Thanks for the report!

i prefer the tarballs to be stored/cached globally, but i'd always want the actual packages to be unzipped and compiled within the current module. otherwise, if something fucks up, i'd have to clear the global cache.

@rstacruz prod would always take precedence over dev in that case

Agreed though, probably better to wait to see how npm's plan pans out.

@jonathanong I'm not sure what you're referring to?

it seems this is the only way to go right now: #19 (comment)

@mhart, we are currently working together with ied on some shared store specs. You can review the specs and add your suggestions. https://github.com/alexanderGugel/ied/blob/spec/spec/STORE.md
