Description
This library uses debug dependency, which prevents any code optimization.
For example, in an Angular web client, we get the following warning in the browser's console:
And if we follow that link...
So basically, we can use that flag to suppress the warnings:
But hiding the issue isn't really a solution. A library that targets specifically web should NOT include such old CommonJS dependencies anymore ;)
- Angular v16.1.2
- Socket.io-client v4.7.0
- Node v18.16.0
- Windows 11
