Reduce number of dependencies

[benmccann]

https://npmgraph.js.org/?q=@inlang/paraglide-sveltekit has 145 dependencies and ends up installing solid.js and webpack dependencies into your SvelteKit project.
Unpacked Size (module + dependencies): 106 MB

Upgrading @inlang/paraglide-unplugin to the latest unplugin will remove a chunk of dependencies

Upgrading @lix-js/client to the latest oktokit would help a lot as well

Could you make Typescript a dev dependency of @lix-js/fs?

axios could be replaced with fetch in posthog-node

Good work here @benmccann. +1

Is this critical at the moment?

We are in the middle of a rewrite of the lix and inlang SDKs. See this blog post for more info. Progress happens in the lix-integration branch. Both re-writes will:

• reduce the number of external dependencies
• scaffold more dependencies into the SDKs
  • e.g. having @inlang/paraglide-unplugin as package was over kill. bundler plugins will be "bundled" in paraglide js directly.

Furthermore, Paraglide JS 2.0 will also reduce the number of dependencies.

We want to put all resources into completing the SDK re-writes. Hence, highly appreciated if you can bear the dependency bloat for 2 more months.

Thank you for the update! Yes, waiting for 2.0 is fine.

I think these suggestions could apply to the lix-integration branch as well, but I'm happy to focus efforts there rather than main

Will you be merging main into lix-integration or vice versa? I'm happy to send some PRs to clean up a few of the low hanging fruit, but I'm not sure which branch is better to target? Or is it just distraction at the moment and better to hold off for the time being?

[samuelstroschein]

Better to hold off atm.

• @lix-js/fs will be deleted
• @lix-js/client will be deleted
• paraglide-unplugin will be deprecated in favor bundling within paraglide-js

PS Thanks for your understanding

Massive reduction in transient dependencies in Paraglide JS 2.0. The rewrite of lix and the inlang SDK to SQLite worked wonders. https://npmgraph.js.org/?q=@inlang/[email protected]

• prettier plugin jsdoc will likely be removed as part of emit typescript flag #299
• inlang/sdk could remove the sentry browser dependency but I'll wait on the amount of error reports we get (how useful sentry is)
