Why lodash and lodash-es

[alexander-schranz]

This is more a question, I did see that this package install in my application lodash and lodash-es. Is here both required?

Would it be possible to define lodash and lodash-es as peerDependency so only one of them is installed in my project, which I define? See #829

How do we get rid of non-es lodash? Right now, they are both installed when I install react-color and they both end up in my bundle.

react-color is the only package using the non-es lodash I have right now.

I managed to get rid of lodash by adding an alias to my vite.config.ts:

...
resolve: {
    alias: {
        lodash: 'lodash-es',
    },
},
...

Fairly sure something similar can be done for webpack and other bundlers.

This is a wider issue supposedly being addressed by the lodash maintainers: lodash/lodash#5107.
