Install as dev dependency or regular dependency? #227
Description
TanStack Devtools version
0.7.7
Framework/Library version
React 19.2.0
Describe the bug and the steps to reproduce it
It is not clear if devtools are supposed installed as a devDependency or a regular dependency. Different places in the documentation say different things.
Examples:
- Installation says devDep: https://tanstack.com/devtools/latest/docs/installation#react
- Quick Start says dep: https://tanstack.com/devtools/latest/docs/quick-start
- React adapter says dep: https://tanstack.com/devtools/latest/docs/framework/react/adapter#installation
Based on the documentation, it's extremely unclear what a proper install looks like.
