Angular + instantsearch.js?

[coturiv]

While replacing angular-instantsearch with instantsearch.js in an Angular project, I noticed that the react package is being installed as a transitive dependency. I really don’t like having React installed in my Angular project 🙂

GPT5.2: Why is the react module installed?

"The react module is installed as a transitive dependency of instantsearch.js (Algolia search library). Specifically, instantsearch.js depends on instantsearch-ui-components , which depends on markdown-to-jsx , which requires react for rendering. Even if you don't use React directly, these libraries pull it in."

The react module is installed for a peer dependency that isn't actually used if you use just the connectors. Unfortunately for now we can't exclude it from being installed.
