Why might a developer list a package as a devDependency instead of a dependency?
- A devDependency is needed only during development, not in production.
- A devDependency is automatically updated more frequently than a regular dependency.
- A devDependency reduces the overall bundle size of the application.
- A devDependency allows other developers to contribute to the project.
Developers list a package as a devDependency when it's required during development but not needed in production. This helps to keep the production build smaller and avoids unnecessary dependencies.
