## 💁‍♀️ FAQ

### When would I use this?
In rare instances where you have peer-dependencies that you can't declare as dev-dependencies. For example, when the peer-dependency is propietary and can only be installed behind a fire-wall (eg. private npm registry), declaring it as a dev-dependency might cause your CI to fail at `npm install`.

### How is this different from [npm-install-peers](https://github.com/spatie/npm-install-peers)?
They accomplish the same task, but `i-peers` is dramatically lighter, and therefore, faster.
