Make KSS an optional dependency
I want to use documentalist on a TypeScript-only project. I don't want to download kss and its dependencies.
@adidahiya seems reasonable 👍 . i'd argue we should do the same for typescript. the only plugin that's really required is markdown.
bump on this issue. Our project uses node 12 and the latest version of kss currently brings in an older version of nunjucks which requires node to be of version >= 6.9.0 <= 11.1.0.
kss updated its dependency to bringing the latest version of nunjucks which removes the version upperbound but hasn't yet cut a release
@suchanlee thanks for the heads up... after looking at optionalDependencies some more, I don't think this is actually what we want for @documentalist/compiler. I've never seen this type of dependency used seamlessly in practice... I think a more appropriate solution would be to split the plugins out into different packages (like @documentalist/plugin-kss) and use regular dependencies. However, this would be a breaking change. Since Node 12 is not an urgent priority for us (until it enters active LTS on 2019-10-22), I would advise staying on Node 10 for now and waiting for kss to cut a release.
