Typescript as peerDependency

[dglazkoff]

Do you think maybe a typescript should be added as a peerDependency in the project?

Hi @dglazkoff ; my initial assumption is no, because I've not really seen that done before (or at all?) but I guess maybe you're thinking that the peerDep would specify some minimal version of tsc that the code requires?

If so, honestly I'm not even sure what that is at the moment, i.e. I don't think we use any super-new-ish features of tsc, mostly I'm assuming though because we've not had any bug reports of people still on tsc 4.x asking about it.

Yes, I meant some minimum required typescript version. It may be useful to know this information)

I think this is a fair ask (to know the minimum tsc version), but I think when/if we discover it, we would probably just include it in the readme, and not as a true peerDependency.

If you'd like to help bisect what our minimum version of tsc actually is (or if you're doing it anyway :-D ), that'd be great, otherwise I'll make sure to document it, the next time someone files an issue about what tsc feature we're using, that isn't supported by their version.
