Adding Dependencies
GitLab uses yarn to manage dependencies. These dependencies are defined in
two groups within package.json, dependencies and devDependencies. For
our purposes, we consider anything that is required to compile our production
assets a "production" dependency. That is, anything required to run the
webpack script with NODE_ENV=production. Tools like eslint, karma, and
various plugins and tools used in development are considered devDependencies.
This distinction is used by omnibus to determine which dependencies it requires
when building GitLab.
Exceptions are made for some tools that we require in the
gitlab:assets:compile CI job such as webpack-bundle-analyzer to analyze our
production assets post-compile.
To add or upgrade a dependency, run:
yarn add <your dependency here>
This may introduce duplicate dependencies. To de-duplicate yarn.lock, run:
node_modules/.bin/yarn-deduplicate --list --strategy fewer yarn.lock && yarn install
