jschaf opened a new issue, #65: URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow-js/issues/65
### Describe the enhancement requested The Apache Arrow JS bundle includes a few unnecessary packages that increase the dependency graph. The culprits are: - command-line-usage: used by integration.ts, json-to-arrow.ts, and arrowtocsv.ts. I _think_ these can move to dev dependencies since it looks like the intent of the scripts is integration testing and benchmarking. - @swc/helpers: Introduced in https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/38500. `@swc/helpers` is never imported. I think it's used for https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/9b931af14e5a710cba0aaa6b899e2ca696bfd785/js/tsconfig.json#L22. If ts-node is only for development, this can move to devDependencies. - @types/node: Should move to devDependencies. I don't think there's any benefit to having it listed as a production dependency. - @types/command-line-args: move to devDependencies - @types/command-line-usage: move to devDepdencies - json-bignum: used by integration.ts, json-to-arrow.ts, and arrowtocsv.ts. Can move to dev dependencies. Here's the graph of the current dependencies.  ### Component(s) JavaScript -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
