Topic: Bundle Size Too Big

Richwheels pro asked 6 years ago

I've just tested a blank angular (just ng new) project with only MDBootstrap Pro in it and it came to 4.1MB in size for the ng build --prod bundle size. I then followed the instructions to only import the dropdown menu and spinner and the bundle was still 3.91MB! I checked through all the bundle and about 3MB of that is fonts. I don't want all these fonts so how do I go about getting rid of them without breaking the MDBootstrap Pro projects? 3.91MB for a bundle size with absolutely nothing in it is completely unacceptable.

From v8 our styles are modular and loaded only when you use specific component. You can also load only the modules you need in your application, here is the list of all available modules:

https://mdbootstrap.com/docs/angular/getting-started/modules/

In v9 we plan to remove fonts from the bundle. You will have to load the fonts from external source.

Hello @gauravrkc90

From version 8.0.0 styles of the components are modular and can be loaded when you import specific module. That mean you can load only the styles you need in your application. However we still need to find some other solution for loading fonts and other assets.

Does exist a guide?

Arkadiusz Idzikowski staff commented 4 years ago

What guide do you need exactly? You can find migration guide for updade from MDB 7 to MDB 8 here:

Dear @MarkUlt , @evieira357 

We're working on decreasing the bundle size, but I can't provide you with any ETA on this.

You have to be patient.

Best Regards,

Damian

Is there one forecast to do this change/improvement?

MarkUlt free answered 5 years ago

Is there any news on the progress of reducing the bundle size?

Our bundle size is around 2MB which is very large and it would be better to have a smaller deployment. Just registering the components we use gives a bundle size the same as registering the whole library.

Dear Rich, Thanks for your report. Actually, we are working on improving the performance of our bundle, and decreasing its size. Unfortunately, for now, I can't provide you ready-to-use answer because this problem requires us to change the structure of the library. Best Regards, Damian

A bundle without MDBootstrap comes to 300kb so 3.61MB is added in fonts and other useless stuff just so I can use a drop down menu and spinner!
