Answer by ArturZ for What's the difference between dependencies, devDependencies and peerDependencies in npm package.json file?

When using Webpack to bundle a frontend application, the distinction between dependencies and devDependencies is not so clear. For the final bundle, it doesn't matter where you place the dependencies (but it may be important for other tools). That's why the documentation seems confusing.

I found the explanation here: Do "dependencies" and "devDependencies" matter when using Webpack?
