Should react-scripts be in dependencies or devDependencies?

When bootstraping a new project, the react-scripts is listed in dependencies, but the docs suggests that should be in devDependencies. See updating-to-new-releases.md:

react-scripts is a development dependency in the generated projects (including this one).

And this image in the landing page:

I’m guessing that the previous versions worked fine in devDependencies, but something changed and the docs wasn’t updated.

Duh - it’s late and I misread your issue @luanorlandi !

It should be in dependencies but the image on https://create-react-app.dev/ is now out of date, and https://create-react-app.dev/docs/updating-to-new-releases mentions “development dependency” The image is definitely misleading, and the statement above could be misinterpreted

Projects started with --template typescript end up with all DefinitlyTyped dependencies and TypeScript itself in dependencies as well instead of under devDependencies.
