Peer dependencies

How can napa support peer dependencies?

Can you elaborate on what you mean?

[jordwalke]

There is a feature in node for "peer dependencies". These are not installed like regular dependencies in npm2. Is there an analog in napa for specifying that a dependency should be a "peer dependency"?

Sorry I wasn't clear. I am familiar with peer dependencies. Can you explain a bit more about the goal you're trying to accomplish with napa and why you think napa should support peer dependencies?

Depending on the goal, I might be able to provide a better answer. But the short answer is no, napa will never support peer dependencies. It's not a package manager. it doesn't do any kind of resolutions. That is what npm is used for.
