Should all the peerDependencies be optional?

[NullVoxPopuli]

I saw that in the package.json, there are these peerDependenies entries:

  "peerDependencies": {
    "@angular-devkit/core": ">=11.0.1",
    "@angular-devkit/schematics": ">=11.0.1",
    "@nrwl/workspace": ">=9.2.2"
  },

Since I don't use angular, and since nx14 does not need @nrwl/workspace, can all of these peers be optional?

• Cannot find module '@nrwl/workspace/tasks-runners/default' #126

Hi. Thank you for reporting. Those are used only for backward NX compatibility, which was using those packages. Did you meant moving those dependencies to optionalDependencies or some other approach?

Yeah, i'm interested in testing this out but I'm running into these errors. Might make sense to move them to optionalDependencies or remove them if that backwards compatibility isn't necessary anymore?

[jakemhiller]

actually, it looks like at least @angular-devkit/schematics is actually used in the plugin itself, so it can't be optional.

@angular-devkit was removed, please update to v2.0.0 and report if the issue is still present.
