Why is react stated as peerDependency when using @storybook/vue?

I’m using the latest beta version right now (37), and use rush + pnpm for our mono-repo. I can’t find in the docs what the reason is that react is stated as peerDependency for @storybook/vue, and some plugins, while react is only used internally by Storybook. An explanation would be great, as right now, I change them to normal dependency in pnpmfile, and all still works.

As a side-note: I know it’s not always easy specifying dependencies, and peerDependencies are somewhat over-used out there, while they should only be used when a package really is a plugin/addon, or is suppose to work together with the actual source code and it’s framework.

Yes, however this can be updated.

Idea was to move all CLI’s to a single script, all frameworks relied on the same set of addons, then we added essentials and finally starting to migrate popular frameworks using this superset.

There are still some frameworks that are using addon-actions the old way. Instead of excluding this addon from migrated frameworks, we leaved it as is.

Work must go on 🧑‍🎤

While using Vue.js (CLI) or Nuxt.js, I don’t want to get bothered by any dependency which doesn’t fit to my (selected) stack…
