Topic: ng-uikit-pro-standard is loaded totally on main.js even if single modules imported in lazy loaded modules

ilprima free asked 4 years ago


Importing the single modules instead of the whole module with .root() should not import the whole library inside the main.js bundle, causing a huge size of it. ng-uikit-pro-standard is loaded totally on main.js even if single modules imported in lazy loaded modules and they are not imported in app.module. In the screenshot the stats, showing ng-uikit-pro-standard is imported as whole library instead of be splitted into modules and loaded in the lazy loading modules. I talked with other Italians developers and seems like this library has no a good reputation because seems not soo optimised for production environment (and this is a clear example, it makes the main.js size too big). I hope to they are wrong. enter image description here

Thank you, we will make some tests on our end to check that.

Any news on this issue?


Arkadiusz Idzikowski staff commented 3 years ago

We checked that for different configurations (with main MDB module containing all modules and with single MDB modules) and we observed significant differences in bundle size (tested on v10.0.0 with ng build --prod).

We still need to make some additional tests and consider adding some improvements (like secondary entry points), however, this may require a complete rebuild of the library building process.

Hi, I have same problem. Are there any news?

Thanks Marco


Arkadiusz Idzikowski staff commented 3 years ago

@bitjuice can you provide more details about your app configuration and the tools you used to check that? We performed some tests and we couldn't reproduce that, when we imported only single modules the bundle size was reduced slightly. I'm afraid we won't be able to reduce this amount without introducing secondary entry points, but that would involve a lot of breaking changes in the library.

Hi Arkadiusz,

I found the problem. I created a new blank project with angular 11 and mdbootstrap 11. If in my main module I use "simple" routing mode and I import only ButtonsModule, it woks fine and I get a small main.js file.

app.module

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { ButtonsModule, MDBSpinningPreloader } from 'ng-uikit-pro-standard';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { AppRoutingModule } from './app-routing.module';
import { Page1Component } from './page1/page1.component';
import { Page2Component } from './page2/page2.component';
import { HomeComponent } from './home/home.component';

@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    AppComponent,
    Page1Component,
    Page2Component,
    HomeComponent
  ],
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    ButtonsModule.forRoot(),
    AppRoutingModule,
  ],
  providers: [
    MDBSpinningPreloader
  ],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }

app-routing.module.ts

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { RouterModule, Routes } from '@angular/router';
import { HomeComponent } from './home/home.component';
import { Page1Component } from './page1/page1.component';
import { Page2Component } from './page2/page2.component';

const routes: Routes = [
  { path: 'page1', component: Page1Component },
  { path: 'page2', component: Page2Component },
  { path: '', component: HomeComponent,   pathMatch: 'full' }
];

@NgModule({
  declarations: [],
  imports: [
    RouterModule.forRoot(routes)
  ],
  exports: [RouterModule]
})
export class AppRoutingModule { }

enter image description here

But if I added a module loaded lazy, here is the result:

const routes: Routes = [
  { path: 'page1', component: Page1Component },
  { path: 'page2', component: Page2Component },
  { path: 'page3', loadChildren: () => import('./otherspages/otherspages.module').then(m => m.OtherspagesModule) },
  { path: '', component: HomeComponent,   pathMatch: 'full' }
];

enter image description here

Here is the sample project (you have to set key of ng-uikit-pro-standard in package.json file): download project

Please help me to solve this issue, because I have a big problem when build production file of my "real" project: main file is too big!

Thanks

@bitjuice Thank you for the demo app, this information will surely make it easier for us to find the cause of this problem.

Thanks Arkadiusz, let me know.

Hi Arkadiusz,

here is my app.module code:

import { NgModule, LOCALE_ID } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule, BrowserTransferStateModule, Title, HAMMER_GESTURE_CONFIG } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { BrowserAnimationsModule } from '@angular/platform-browser/animations';
import { registerLocaleData } from '@angular/common';
import localeIt from '@angular/common/locales/it';
import { HttpClientModule, HTTP_INTERCEPTORS } from '@angular/common/http';
import { AppRoutingModule } from './app-routing.module';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { environment } from 'src/environments/environment';
import { MyHammerConfig } from './models/hammer/my-hammer-config';
import { CookieService } from 'ngx-cookie-service';
import { SocialLoginModule, SocialAuthServiceConfig, FacebookLoginProvider } from 'angularx-social-login';
import { ServiceWorkerModule } from '@angular/service-worker';

import { ButtonsModule, MDBSpinningPreloader } from 'ng-uikit-pro-standard';

// INTERCEPTORS
import { JwtInterceptor } from './interceptors/jwt-interceptor';
import { ErrorInterceptor } from './interceptors/error-interceptor';

registerLocaleData(localeIt, 'it');

@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    AppComponent
  ],
  imports: [
    BrowserModule.withServerTransition({ appId: 'serverApp' }),
    BrowserTransferStateModule,
    BrowserAnimationsModule,
    ButtonsModule.forRoot(),
    AppRoutingModule,
    HttpClientModule,
    SocialLoginModule,
    ServiceWorkerModule.register('/custom-service-worker.js', { enabled: environment.production })
  ],
  providers: [
    { provide: LOCALE_ID, useValue: 'it' },
    Title,
    MDBSpinningPreloader,
    { provide: HTTP_INTERCEPTORS, useClass: JwtInterceptor, multi: true },
    { provide: HTTP_INTERCEPTORS, useClass: ErrorInterceptor, multi: true },
    {
      provide: 'SocialAuthServiceConfig',
      useValue: {
        autoLogin: false,
        providers: [
          {
            id: FacebookLoginProvider.PROVIDER_ID,
            provider: new FacebookLoginProvider(environment.facebookapi.appId)
          }
        ],
      } as SocialAuthServiceConfig,
    },
    { provide: HAMMER_GESTURE_CONFIG, useClass: MyHammerConfig },
    CookieService
  ],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }

If I run webpack-bundle-analyzer I get this schema:

enter image description here

If I remove import of ButtonsModule and MDBSpinningPreloader, I get this schema:

enter image description here

I'm using angular 10.2.5 and mdbootstrap 10.1.1

Thanks a lot for your support.

Marco

@bitjuice can you make an additional check using the tool recommended by the Angular team and confirm if the output is the same?
