[no-extraneous-dependencies] false positive with electron

[mcmxcdev]

The linting rule complains that electron should be listed as dependency, not devDependency.

Electron clearly states on https://github.com/electron/electron#installation that it should be installed as a dev dependency.

By default, the rule always requires things to be a dependency, because that's the safest choice.

You can configure the rule to indicate in which file dev dependencies are permitted; see the docs.

[mcmxcdev]

That doesn't seem feasible to me, because every file can potentially have a devDependency in it.

In that case, I think the only possible way to address it while keeping the rule enabled would be if we added an option that listed specific package names, and in which categories they're permitted.

… which makes this a duplicate of #903.
