Prettier peer dependency causes install errors

[selfagency]

Describe the bug

Appreciate your work on this. Ran into a weird issue, tho: The framework I'm using requires Prettier 3 for its internal eslint formatter but for some reason your package requires Prettier 2 as a peer dependency and therefore requires me to install packages with --legacy-peer-deps enabled. If you're not providing a language server to provide live code formatting in this package, could you not require that as a peer dep?

Thanks

We do actually use Prettier at "runtime" - or more precisely it is referenced in packaged code: the API generation tools prettify their output.

I can't roll to Prettier 3.0.0 because in turn I am waiting on mjeanroy/rollup-plugin-prettier#1343

One good thing is that the tools will fail elegantly if Prettier is not present, BUT I think what might work here is that I keep my own devDependency version at ^2.8.8 and update the peerDependency to >2.8.8 (i.e. > rather than ^). Then you can have 3.0.3 locally no problem and yet TinyBase will still use 2.8.8 for itself.

New release 4.1.4 looks like it works!

I'm going to close this out, assuming it's good.
