On the phase where yarn is linking its dependencies I get the following block of warnings:
warning "firebase > @firebase/[email protected]" has unmet peer dependency "@firebase/[email protected]".
warning "firebase > @firebase/[email protected]" has unmet peer dependency "@firebase/[email protected]".
warning "firebase > @firebase/[email protected]" has unmet peer dependency "@firebase/[email protected]".
...
some more unment peer dependency warnings about "@firebase/[email protected]" from different firebase packages I removed here for the sake of better readability.
...
warning " > [email protected]" has unmet peer dependency "dom-tools@^0.1.1".
warning " > [email protected]" has unmet peer dependency "wolfy87-eventemitter@^4.3.0".
Even though I did read The docs about dependency types, I still do not understand:
1) What are peer dependencies? [now I do... please read edit below]
2) Why and how are they used? [now I do... please read edit below]
This lack of understanding also leads to me being uncertain about what I should do about those warnings provided by yarn.
3) Should I add @firebase/[email protected], dom-tools@^0.1.1 and wolfy87-eventemitter@^4.3.0 as dependencies?
4) if so then should those be normal or dev dependencies?
Edit:
It was suggested that this is a duplicate of Why use peer dependencies in npm for plugins? so I went and read it. I now understand better what peer dependencies are in general and I do recommend everyone reaching this Q that does no understand what peer dependencies are to go ahead and read said Question and answer provided there.
Never the less, I still don't know how to resolve said warning and Q's 3 and 4 are still let unanswered for me.
I do understand that @firebase/[email protected] expects me to somhow use that code in @firebase/[email protected] when communicating with it... but I do not knwo where, when am I how I am expected to do so.
The fact that I don't use it could mean that its something optional that I don't actually need and this makes it "an implementation detail" (to use language from https://stackoverflow.com/a/34645112/25412 ) or that I am missing something in how I am using @firebase/[email protected].
I am not asking about the peer dependencies of plotjs because plotjs is not something that I am using directly to begin with so I am guessin the first option of an optional "implementation detail" applies here (at least for now).
So maybe someone can provide more insight into what @firebase/[email protected] does and how and when it can/should be used?
