Neos-ui: Remove ramda as dependency

[markusguenther]

Description

We use ramda and lodash at the moment. And we use way less ramda then lodash.
I personally dislike this libraries and would prefer own little helpers instead and ES6, but thats a different story.

I would like to lower the dependencies and replace ramda with ES6 and bit lodash code.

Expected behavior

Same working UI with less dependencies to maintain.

Actual behavior

lodash and ramda in coexistence.

ramda is actually really cool library, more FP-oriented which is always cool. But for the pragmatic reasons I don't mind throwing it away, we are not using it that much.

I will take on this PR

I'm currently replacing Ramda with Lodash now, but I had one question, why are you removing Ramda and keeping Lodash, and not the other way around?

[markusguenther]

Thanks for taking care and welcome in the neos community as well.

The intention was to have just one of those libraries and ramda is not used that much. So it is less effort to replace ramda.

We have plenty of dependencies and would be nice to shrink that a bit.

Thanks 🙏

My take on this:
Ramda is more functional, Lodash is more mainstream. Since people who were more into hardcore FP stuff are not around now (I mean you @bwaidelich and @Inkdpixels ;) ), it makes sense to keep the more "pop" version, especially that most of codebase already uses it.
But personally I really don't care of what we are going to end up using, no strong opinions on the topic.

Me and "hardcore FP" in one phrase.. a first timer :D

Lol I meant @grebaldi, autocomplete slip...

Just writing to let you know that I have not forgotten this. I have done the code changes, just need to test so it works. I'm currently setting up the environment.

If you need help with that just ping us :)

Thank you @markusguenther

I might have some questions regarding Neos soon. I have just been very busy lately. Please give me a few more days. :)

[markusguenther]

@johachi No problem, take your time. And it is awesome that you pick up that task :)

Hi @markusguenther ,

I keep getting the error below. Do you have any suggestions on how to solve this?

I get the error above when pressing Next on the Create a new site page during initial Neos setup. I have selected Neos.Demo as site package.

I was able to get above to work properly by doing a reinstall and increasing php memory limit.
