Managing dependencies

Voyzu provides a fixed set of runtime dependencies at versions defined in the Voyzu root package.json. A package declares the platform dependencies it consumes as peerDependencies; it must not install its own versions of them.

This applies both to general dependencies such as React and Next.js and to Voyzu libraries such as @voyzu/audit and @voyzu/ui-components.

Dependencies that are not supplied by Voyzu and are specific to the package belong in that package's ordinary dependencies section.

For example, the dependencies section of the Ugly Package below. NPM packages that are provided by the Voyzu platform such as @voyzu/types and next are listed as peer dependencies. cat-names is not a standard Voyzu dependency (as you would expect!) so the package declares is as a standard dependency.

  "dependencies": {
    "cat-names": "^4.0.0"
  },
  "peerDependencies": {
    "@voyzu/types": "^0.1.0",
    "next": "^16",
    "react": "^19",
    "server-only": "^0.0.1",
    "shiki": "^4.4.1"
  }
