Description

New Feature / Enhancement Checklist
Current Limitation

Both the graphIQL console and API console add heavy dependencies to this project, bloating node modules out quite a bit. The dashboard is used for managing data of a live Parse Server, being able to write and execute javascript in an editor that has no types, terminal, debugging, etc, is practically useless.

Feature / Enhancement Description

Remove react-ace, graphIQL

Example Use Case

Allows dashboard to be deployed on smaller instances

Alternatives / Workarounds

Remove from package-lock.json and run npm ci`

Research direction

Start by locating references to react-ace and GraphiQL, then inspect package-lock.json to identify the dependencies and their use in the dashboard. Run npm ci after the removal; done means both consoles are gone and the unused dependencies no longer inflate the installed modules.
