could not use this as npm lib.

Enhancement

As a developer, when I install json-schema-form-core

Expected behaviour

I expect to be able to require the library.
I'm looking at refactor our react-talend-forms package using the uischema of schemaform.io.
At the moment this is a fork of react-jsonschema-form;

It seems json-schema-form-core is what I'm looking for and I would like to use it.
So for that I expect to be able to just import it and use it.

Actual behaviour

It fails with the following error:

ReferenceError: tv4 is not defined
    at Object.eval (webpack:///./~/json-schema-form-core/dist/json-schema-form-core.js?:2623:18)
    at __webpack_require__ (webpack:///./~/json-schema-form-core/dist/json-schema-form-core.js?:29:30)

or just with node:

In my opinion the issue comes from the build which should be more a babel transpilation instead of webpack build which target bundle.

Are you opened to PR to fix this ?

https://github.com/networknt/react-schema-form
is a react implementation of schemaform.io but it doesn't use this lib. so unexpected differences :/
would like to have / achieve something in common.
I'm connected on gitter

As an update, I have almost finished a TypeScript conversion, which will output multiple compatible versions for use in other applications as I am migrating to a build process that copies RxJS' build steps and library structure to optimise webpack builds using the library.

I have also create www.github.com/jsonschema/assimilate to assist in removing the tv4 dependency and that library is structured in the same way as this library by following RxJS as a guide.

I should have a release soon, I just need to update all the tests and of course to document it all.
