We're currently sitting at ~89K for our minified version. That's a lot. Looking at the bundle info above, a few things we could do here:
- Pull the Shell out into a separate file (3K + 7K = 10K). You don't always need it, so let's not always bundle it
- Reduce the size of
implementation.jsby moving toasync/awaitand throwing away most of the callback code. We have tones of code that is just functions wrapped around checks err callbacks. If we usedasync/awaitinstead, we'd justawaitin atry...catch. Make WebSQL an optional provider, bundle it separately #569 to pull WebSQL out into a separate file (2K)Replace lib/nodash.js with ES6 array methods #572 to remove nodash.js (2K)
