\ No newline at end of file +## Adding Dependencies. + +GitLab uses `yarn` to manage dependencies. These dependencies are defined in +two groups within `package.json`, `dependencies` and `devDependencies`. For +our purposes, we consider anything that is required to compile our production +assets a "production" dependency. That is, anything required to run the +`webpack` script with `NODE_ENV=production`. Tools like `eslint`, `karma`, and +various plugins and tools used in development are considered `devDependencies`. +This distinction is used by omnibus to determine which dependencies it requires +when building GitLab. + +Exceptions are made for some tools that we require in the +`gitlab:assets:compile` CI job such as `webpack-bundle-analyzer` to analyze our +production assets post-compile. + +--- + +> TODO: Add Dependencies |
