Topic: Trying to build javascript excluding chart.js

careerbeacon priority asked 1 year ago


Hello, we purchased MDB Standard Advanced - 1 user, Annual. We downloaded the ZIP file from the "My Orders" page.

We just want to remove chart.js because it is really large and we are not using it and it is affecting our page speed with Google so we would like to optimize the javascript if possible.

We would like to use webpack.config and run npm run production command to custom compile ./assets/mdbpro/src/mdb/js/mdb.pro.js

When we do run npn run production the command in CLI, everything seems to looks good and the file is generated, and minified and is now around 395kb versus over 650kb. But there seems to be the part missing that says this object should be referenced as MDB.

So when I load the new file in javascript and inspect Window.Global to see if MDB is available it is not.

The JS file loaded fine and returned 200 http code, but just no reference to MDB.

Here is a copy to our simple webpack.config enter image description here

Here is a snapshot of the source javascript and you can see we just commented out the chart.js enter image description here

Here is a copy of CLI output enter image description here

I can see webpack did compile a javascript file and it looks like it is the right size in kb, but there is something missing. enter image description here

This is a snapshot of the globals in the browser window and MDB is missing. enter image description here

Any guidance would be appreciated. Thank you.

Try the library option: https://webpack.js.org/configuration/output/#outputlibrary

output: {
  ...
  library: 'mdb',
  ...
},

Thank you. That seemed to do the trick.
