dependencyUniqueness

✅ This rule is included in the package-json logical presets.

When Not To Use It

Section titled “When Not To Use It”

If your package intentionally repeats dependency names across dependency collections, such as to mirror a runtime dependency into peerDependencies, this rule might not be for you. Doing so is generally unnecessary with most mainstream package managers, but other tooling might add in the need to do so.
