Should we not add prettier as a dev dependency?

[hhimanshu]

I am following up https://facebook.github.io/create-react-app/docs/setting-up-your-editor#formatting-code-automatically article where the code to add prettier (and related dependencies) is mentioned as

NPM

npm install --save husky lint-staged prettier

Yarn

yarn add husky lint-staged prettier

Considering that they are using at the development time, should they be added as devDependencies?

NPM

npm install --save-dev husky lint-staged prettier

Yarn

yarn add --dev husky lint-staged prettier

It is also mentioned in Prettier's own documentation

Thanks

This is intentional. There are many closed issues and PRs related to this. There's also an open PR that adds an explanation for this to the docs: #5885
