How can it be defined dependency free if it depends on Node.js?

[_boffin_]

Dependency-free means zero runtime dependencies, not no dev tools. Could have explained that better.

[teo_zero]

Do you mean I don't need Node.js on the machine where I run it?

[jjice]

It's a web component so you run it in the browser without dependencies after it's already been built with Node.

[_boffin_]

Doesn’t need to be built by node. It’s standalone.

[chronicler]

it needs an operating system to run omg not dependency free

[teo_zero]

LOL, and an internet connection, too!

But, seriously, of course "web" requires internet and a computer and an operating system. But since when "web" also means Node.js?

If a web component is advertized as dependency free, I expect something that I can include in a <script> tag and it works. Am I wrong?

[bpev]

i mean fwiw can prolly include direct script tag using something like https://esm.sh

[jpease]

Does this operating system also depend on an underlying computer?

You're free to just step through the assembly manually. You might need some paper and a pen.

It ain't dependency free, if you need pen and paper.
