In the context of tree shaking, what is the significance of the "sideEffects" flag in a package.json file?
- Specifies files that should be excluded from the tree-shaking process
- Indicates whether the package has side effects that prevent tree shaking
- Determines the priority of modules during tree shaking
- Flags external dependencies for tree shaking
The "sideEffects" flag in package.json is used to inform the bundler about the side effects of a module. If set to false, it allows the bundler to perform aggressive tree shaking by eliminating unused exports. If set to true, it implies the module has side effects, and the bundler avoids tree shaking to maintain those side effects.
