Looser esbuild semver pattern

[tmcw]

Goals

1. I would like to avoid having multiple copies of esbuild installed in my project

Background

In the bad old days, we'd end up with multiple webpacks. We'd like to avoid that in the future.

Proposal

react-email pins all of its npm dependencies:

https://github.com/resendlabs/react-email/blob/main/packages/react-email/package.json#L37

which might be good for reliability, but is basically bad for the node_modules directory, especially in the case of esbuild, in which it's pinning a particular out-of-date version. It would be great to use looser, and newer, semver specifiers to allow npm to do its work of deduplicating big dependencies like esbuild.

Agreed. Was one of the motivating factors for an effort I started to write a replacement for the CLI. About a week or so out from making that public. If you'd like to see progress, you can check that out on my fork here: https://github.com/shellscape/jsx-email/tree/feat/cli/initial
