Question: Is this package side effect free?
See original GitHub issueI found this on Reddit and saw it exports as an EcmaScript Module, but doesn’t have a sideEffects property in package.json.
Details on the sideEffects property: https://webpack.js.org/guides/tree-shaking/#mark-the-file-as-side-effect-free
It’s a link to the Webpack guides, but it’s the most in-depth explanation on sideEffects with examples that applies to Javascript itself and other bundlers used by consumers.
