coro-net optionalDependencies metadata?
coro-net defines an optionalDependencies key in its metadata, but as far as I can tell that is unsupported by lit. Was this something that there were plans to add support for?
It was an idea. I"m not sure how it would work exactly.
Do you have any ideas how it should work?
I guess optional dependencies would be something that could be prompted for during lit install but prompting doesn't seem ideal. Could instead warn during lit install of a package with optionalDependencies and give instructions for how to install the optional ones.
Might also want to throw a more descriptive runtime error like To use tls, 'secure-socket' must be installed. Run 'lit install luvit/[email protected]'
However, it seems like coro-net might not be a good use case for optionalDependencies, as tls seems like something worth supporting generally.
The thing with secure-socket is it depends on openssl which not all luvi builds have. And in many cases, luvi might be used for a web server that sits behind a ssl terminating proxy and not need tls itself.
