Bundle size is massive

[douglasg14b]

The bundle size of markdown-it-vue is enormous at 5MB. In our web app markdown-it-vue makes up more than 60% of it's total size. And that's with a couple of already heavy libraries.

Does the author of this bundle have any idea to make it smaller? The graph below is my analysis result:

I guess MAYBE there is a strong relevance between this situation of large size and syntax highlighting. At markdown-it's official demo, the size of markdown-it.js is simply 69.5k. The highlight style looks like:

After switching to markdown-it-vue, it looks like:

With some other bundle and plugins, my App becomes a huge package and need to transfer more than 3.2MB data. It is really annoying.

What if detach this bundle into some pieces and allow users to import them? I found that you import a lot. Just a suggestion. I am not pro on js and from-end.

I had the same problem, bundle size up to 5MB, non-viable.

After removing flowchart, echarts and mermaid, the size of this bundle becomes more acceptable after gzipped. I forked this proj. It becomes useful upon my personal development.

Thanks for the advice! It seems It's the only solution. 🤔

In my case I just rewrote it for our project.
