I'm building a umd library using webpack, in my package.json I have dependency-a which I use in my code.
When I build my code using webpack, I see that dependency-a is already baked in in the dist/bundle.js, then I publish my code to npm.
When the user installs my package from npm, all the code the user needs is already in dist/bundle.js, but why does npm still transitively install the dependency-a in my package's node_modules? When will the node_modules/dependency-a in my package's directory ever be used?
Did I misunderstand something?
Am I supposed to A). exclude this dependency from npm or B). make webpack not bake the dependency in in dist/bundle.js?
What are the best / most common practices?
