Question: Definition of development modules

[TheFive]

HI,

what is the definition of development module in your license checker.

currently i have the situation that caniuse is shown as production dependency in this situation

[email protected] /Users/TheFive.osm/development/osmbc
└─┬ [email protected]
  └─┬ @ladjs/[email protected]
    └─┬ @babel/[email protected]
      └─┬ @babel/[email protected]
        └─┬ [email protected]
          └── [email protected]

In this case @ladis/consolidate is using @babel/core as development depencency. @babel/core is only imported as development dependency:

[email protected] /Users/TheFive.osm/development/osmbc
├─┬ [email protected]
│ └─┬ @ladjs/[email protected]
│   └─┬ @babel/[email protected]
│     └─┬ @babel/[email protected]
│       └── @babel/[email protected] deduped
└─┬ [email protected]
  └─┬ [email protected]
    └── @babel/[email protected] deduped

(nyc is a development depencendy in my program).

Is there a chance, to classifiy all libraries, that are in no production dependency as development dependency ?

Reason is, that i would not like to have a CC-BY-SA depencency in my production source, but i do not have a problem to do the test and development with additional CC-BY-SA Tools.

Hi Christoph,

late response, but finally I read your question. I like the idea, but currently I can't tell how complex this would be.
As you might have read, the code of this tool was originally not done by me and still today, I don't know everything it does and how it does it by heart.
It would be a good new feature. we'll see, unless you or someone else will create a PR for it, I'll put it on my todo list.

Cheers, Roman.
