This is awesome! @nimish-gupta can you walk me through the process you used to find unused dependencies? I wanna just make sure we aren't removing anything that we still need.

Do they originally belong to react-native-cli ?

[cpojer]

@gengjiawen yes, or Metro. See #23313 for more information.

@cpojer for removing the packages

• I just search the dependencies through out the repo, and if that is not used from anywhere I just removed it.
• I also did yarn remove but it doesn't cause any change because these dependencies are indirectly used by different packages.

That is awesome. Let me check internally at FB if this causes any issues and then land it. Thank you so much for doing this clean up.

As a next step, do you think you could identify the largest dependencies and make an issue so we can analyze which ones we may want to consider stripping? Thank you!

It seems that lodash is no longer used either.
