request module should be a peerDependency

[silverwind]

I disagree. peerDependencies are meant for plugin-style relation between packages, which I just don't see here. If you use request in you project that uses updates, you should use your own version of request.

From the request-promise-native repo:

request is defined as a peer-dependency and thus has to be installed separately.

🤷🏾‍♂️

It's a peer dependency to request-promise-native, not to consumers. But I think I may switch to another HTTP library to avoid headaches like this :)

[NetOpWibby]

Alright, I’ll close this then.

[silverwind]

At least you made me explore other options and I found a faster http library in turn :)

[NetOpWibby]

Oh wow! Never heard of that package. Looks like I'll be using it too, haha!

[silverwind]

It's what npm uses internally, pretty nice and supports proxies too (which is a requirement for me).
