Hiya @kirkeaton,

Thanks for the suggestion. We love slimming down the deps wherever possible. Could you let us know what problem this solves for your use case (management needs doc 🙄 😁 ).

Hi @mikechu-optimizely,

I'll do my best to summarize what I see as the problem. I believe that this dependency is not used within this project. I inspected the build artifacts and did not find it being used and it's not mentioned in the installation docs (here or here). Since it's listed as a peer dependency, developers may think that they need to install this dependency in their own project in order for this SDK to work properly.

Additionally, some package managers will output a warning message if a peer dependency is not installed. By removing it, this warning message will go away. Here's an example screenshot of the warning message:

Hope this explanation helps.

@kirkeaton That's super detailed. Thanks for taking your time to put in the PR and the description. I've created internal work item FSSDK-10320 which we'll fold this change into the next release.
