axios as devDependency

[oprogramador]

I noticed axios belongs here to devDependencies but IMO it's a prod dependency.

Currently axios is bundled inside dist/*.js. Probably that's why listed only as a dev dependency. IMHO axios should be peerDependency and not bundled into dist.

I consider axios as an implementation detail. It could be replaced by superagent or another library and behave in the same way.

So IMO it should be a prod dependency.

If you use js-data-http, then axios is bundled into dist/js-data-http.js. If you use js-data-fetch, axios is not bundled, and you need to provide an agent, such as superagent. If you use js-data-http-node, then axios is a prod dependency and will be installed and loaded by your app. I will add axios as a prod dependency of js-data-http.

I agree with @Hagith and think axios should be a peerDependency. If you're using js-data-http but are using axios in your app for other requests, would it then not end up being bundled twice?
