create-react-app install devDepencies in dependencies section

Question

After creating a new project with create-react-app and running yarn eject.

The dependencies section of my package.json looks like this:

Answer 1

These are all dev dependencies if the app you are building is a library, that you want to publish others to use.

Basically my understanding is this, if you have a module that can be used in two ways:

• Consumed via npm i
• Developed via cloning the project

In that scenario, it makes sense to put them in dev dependencies.

In your case people are going to clone your project to develop. And consume it via hosted one.

Hope this helps.!
