    I am playing around with custom packages and I am missing one feature or I can't make it work.
    My small custom package has minimal dependencies, and I would like to provide a usage example as a sample. But it will need another package not needed by the package itself. It would be nice to be able to define it in package.json.

    Hey there,

    It's currently not possible to do that but we're aware of the limitation.

    The best workaround for now is to create a separate package for the sample that has a dependency on the main package and the extra dependencies needed for the sample, in order to avoid adding those unnecessary dependencies to the main package.

    Any Updates on this, I would like to be able to create a dependency to another package if they import the sample
