Bundle size updates

[Kubuxu]

Currently js-ipfs-api creates bundle of 1.3MB (I might be wrong).
This means that it can be hardly used in websites as for its huge size. As it is supposed to be just a connector to go-ipfs/js-ipfs, is there a way to make it smaller?

@Kubuxu where are you getting that number? Depends on bow you are bundling it. It should be just ~660KB.

660KB is still big and that is why we pushed the endeavour of enabling modular support which was completed by @nunofmn. See submodule bundle sizes here:

Also, when this ipfs/kubo#4082 gets released, we will be able to complete #522

@Kubuxu ?

[Kubuxu]

It was information I was given on IRC. 600KB is much better yet it is still quite big.

There is also https://github.com/SilentCicero/ipfs-mini

Thanks for reminding me, @Kubuxu. I had in mind opening a issue on that module once the modularization of js-ipfs-api was done.

Issue opened now: SilentCicero/ipfs-mini#6

@Kubuxu could you point the IRC people to this issue?

[daviddias]

Closing, let me know if this question is asked again.

It is going to get even smaller, @Kubuxu see: a5cb06e#r137276795
