peerDependency warning for `search-insights`

[slorber]

Description

When initializing a new Docusaurus site with pnpm, we get the following warning

npx create-docusaurus@latest my-website classic --javascript --package-manager pnpm

└─┬ @docusaurus/preset-classic 3.7.0
  ├─┬ @docusaurus/theme-search-algolia 3.7.0
  │ └─┬ @docsearch/react 3.9.0
  │   ├── ✕ missing peer search-insights@">= 1 < 3"
  │   └─┬ @algolia/autocomplete-core 1.17.9
  │     └─┬ @algolia/autocomplete-plugin-algolia-insights 1.17.9
  │       └── ✕ missing peer search-insights@">= 1 < 3"

Steps to reproduce

This can be reproduced outside Docusaurus:

mkdir test
cd test
pnpm init
pnpm add @docsearch/react

Expected behavior

No warning

Environment

• pnpm
• DocSearch version: 3.9

I'm not sure why this happens considering the lib has

  "peerDependenciesMeta": {
    "search-insights": {
      "optional": true
    }
  }

Maybe this is because it depends on other Algolia packages that do not declare this peerDependency as optional? 🤷‍♂

I didn't find any ref in the doc to install the search-insights package, so I guess it's fine to only depend on this lib?

@slorber I think your assumption of an underlying package not having it as optional is correct. The @algolia/autocomplete-plugin-algolia-insights has it set has a peerDependency but not as optional package.json. It's odd because the search-insights package is optional and only needed if you are leveraging the insights property 🤔.
