Reduce sidecar.v1.js size
In the current word of 1MB+ web apps, you can think that I am crazy, but I (as an author of 139 bytes library and Size Limit) think that 17 KB is too big for sidecar.v1.js
I am currently having 10 KB website and adding 17 KB of Sidecar is painful for me (but Gitter so nice, Sidecar UX is great and I love this project so much).
I investigated sidecar.v1.js and found a few simple steps to reduce the size. I think we can reach 10 KB.
-
Removing
object-assign
polyfill. Any way it is used only in few simple places. -
Removing
Array.from
polyfill, because it takes a lot of checks in error messages like:if(null===t||"undefined"==typeof t)throw new TypeError("`Array.from` requires an array-like object, not `null` or `undefined`");var i,a,u=n.ToObject(t);if("undefined"!=typeof arguments[1]){if(i=arguments[1],!n.IsCallable(i))throw new TypeError("When provided, the second argument to `Array.from` must be a function");
-
Use Rollup to trim webpack’s boilerplate and
Object.defineProperty(e,"__esModule",{value:!0})
calls. -
Remove Node.js
process
polyfill (it could accidetly be added by wrong usage ofprocess.env
).
What do you think of these steps? I can try to find more steps to reduce size and send pull requests.
