Is all packages necessary?

[TheWotan]

I follow and practice with nuxt3 and your implementations and struggle to eliminate unused packages.

For example, I really won't be forced to use Ant Design (previously) or NaiveUI (now) - so I need to eliminate them manually, and stuck with hard coupling with @sidebase/core.

So can we have something like a wizard on install? And check what exactly I need to install.

Hey @TheWotan!

Good q - we want to have as little coupling as possible and all modules should be removable! I like the idea of a wizard (: We already explored it a little bit and will explore it further soon, to make usage + setup easier.

For your concrete case: You can remove naive-ui without a problem: The only thing this will break is TheWelcomeContainer! So to remove it the only two things you should have to do are:

1. Remove lines 3-5 from the app.vue -> this is the welcome container
2. Remove '@huntersofbook/naive-ui-nuxt' from the nuxt.config.ts
3. Uninstall naive ui: npm r @huntersofbook/naive-ui-nuxt

Please try this out and let me know if there's any remaining issues! Because if so, it's really important for us to resolve them to ensure that modules stay de-coupled!

Edit: The modules are now decoupled - sidebase/core does not depend on Naive UI anymore

Hi @BracketJohn

Thanks for your answer.

Ofc, I manage to remove NaiveUI. But when I just do it as you mention npm i did not work. As I discover - because of coupling in sidebase/core to NaiveUI (but maybe I'm wrong )

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  modules: ['@huntersofbook/naive-ui-nuxt']
})

from /my-sidebase-app/node_modules/@sidebase/core/nuxt.config.ts

Anyway, big thanks for your work and for the Merino template. Just my advice to add the linter config to that template.

Ah, I get it now! We'll look into it: Usually what is expected to happen is that everything still works, just with missing styling. Thanks for clearing this up.

And yes: The merino stack partly exists because of your feedback here ❤️

Just now release the last version (for tonight) 🎊 For everybody else: To manually configure what modules you want to use, just use the new sidebase CLI:

npm create sidebase@latest

This also works with pnpm and yarn. The CLI will guide you through a sidebase app creation process:

@TheWotan mind setting this question to answered, if everything is clear now? (:

[BracketJohn]

@TheWotan we now fully removed the sub-dependency on Naive UI. So you can just remove it and everything should work just fine!
