Bundle Phobia: find the cost of adding an npm package to your bundle

I think perhaps the biggest problem is the lack of a flat dependency system. So not only does your project depend on isArray, it may depend on 5 different versions of it. The sheer number of deps a seemingly normal React app has is crazy. Especially with webpack, babel, etc.

Npm3 has flat dependency system.

It doesn’t. It has a deduping system, which may still leave you with multiple versions installed if there are incompatible version requirements in the dependency tree.

A flat system would mean there’s only ever a single version installed. Or at least, I think that’s what OP means, since that’s the only definition I’ve ever heard.

It's what was there with bower but that has a lot of problems as well. So many in fact that everyone has moved to npm
