David Sherret @dsherret.dev · Feb 7 Beware: npm doesn't show non-npm dependencies in the dependencies tab. Check out this package—npm lists it as having zero dependencies, but if you look at the package.json, it definitely has dependencies.

I submitted this in a report to npm, but it was closed as being an intentional design decision. Previously I submitted a report about how the dependencies tab showed these dependencies as being npm packages (not remote ones) and I guess the fix was to just not show them at all.
It doesn’t show peerDependencies either. It does show devDependencies, which is not relevant for users.
When will JSR start showing the number of the dependencies though?
