Reduce bundle size?

[te-online]

I'm excited to move away from window.OC to the @ nextcloud packages in most cases and I recently added @nextcloud/auth to one of my Nextcloud apps. 🤓 This package, in turn, requires @nextcloud/nextcloud-bus, which unfortunately, seems to have had a considerable effect on bundle size. Right now, it's 13.41 % of the whole app's bundle.

/node_modules/@nextcloud/event-bus/dist/index.es.js
██████░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ 13.41 % (113.459 KB)

I quickly looked through this repository and I can't see any apparent reason why the code transpiles to more than 100 KB, maybe it is the import of semver? Or maybe it is simply legacy browser-support? Any ideas on how to reduce the size? 😊

That's something to analyze indeed. The package code itself is minimal, I can also only imagine it's one of the deps or the transpilation process.

[te-online]

Using a different module to replace the functionality provided by semver could be a possible solution.

Something like this?

https://www.npmjs.com/package/semver-regex

I can see that some refactoring would be needed, though, so I'm a bit hesitant... 😩

[te-online]

I'm going to leave it at that for now. 🤓 Even though improving speed and reducing bundle-size is an important issue, I have to admit that I won't be able to pick up the refactoring work needed. Sorry!

Should be fixed by #481 now, right @vinicius73 ?

[vinicius73]

Yes @juliushaertl, we are waiting #490 to be merged to close this issue.
It is one of other steps we are thinking to improve all or packages ecosystem.
