Problem
People get confused because there are two
package.json
files, one in the root folder and one inapp/
folder. The twopackage.json
files have the same dependencies and devDependencies, which is the main reason for the confusion.Solution
The solution discussed with @valentinstoychev was to keep the
app/package.json
as simple as possible, and if possible to add some comments to each key in theapp/package.json
to explain what is the purpose of it. Because there are no comments in the.json
format, IMO it's best to describe the functionality in the documentation.This PR is not final and is only one possible solution. We can decide we want to apply different solution to the problem later on after a discussion. This is simply an easy fix.
Currently we keep only the
name
,main
,version
andandroid
keys in theapp/package.json
if anyone thinks we should exclude or include more keys, please comment this PR or this issue.
