Angular 2 production bundle file is too large

i use webpack bundle my angular 2 project, when i bundle the main file. the file is too large, the file size is about 8M. then whenever i refresh my page, there will be a long time for the browser to load and execute the javascript files. I think there may be too many files that i don't needs,but how can i find it and kick it out of my bundle files? thank u for give me some advice or some help.

here is my main part of webpack config: webpack.common.js:

const webpack = require('webpack');
const helpers = require('./helpers');
const HtmlWebpackPlugin = require('html-webpack-plugin');
const ForkCheckerPlugin = require('awesome-typescript-loader').ForkCheckerPlugin;

        // 'vendor': './src/vendor.ts',
        'main': './src/main.ts'
    },
    resolve: {
        extensions: ['', '.ts', '.js', '.json'],
        root: helpers.root('src'),
        modulesDirectories: ['node_modules'],
    },
    module: {
        loaders: [
            {
                test: /\.ts$/,
                loaders: ['awesome-typescript-loader', 'angular2-template-loader'],
                exclude: [/\.(spec|e2e)\.ts$/]
            },

                loader: 'raw-loader',
                exclude: [helpers.root('src/index.html')]
            },
            {
                test: /\.scss$/,
                loaders: ['raw-loader', 'sass-loader'] // sass-loader not scss-loader
            },

            }
        ]

    },

i dropped my vendor.ts file here is my polyfills.ts

// This file includes polyfills needed by Angular 2 and is loaded before
// the app. You can add your own extra polyfills to this file.
// Added parts of es6 which are necessary for your project or your browser support requirements.

import 'core-js/es6/object';
import 'core-js/es6/function';

Solution

  • I was trying out angular 2 the other day and I faced the same issue as you do, my vendor.js was 6M and this was a simple "Hello World" app...

    I've found the following post that helped a lot in understanding how we should act on this issue (for now): http://blog.mgechev.com/2016/06/26/tree-shaking-angular2-production-build-rollup-javascript/

    He uses several optimizing and compression techniques (precompile,treeshake, minify, bundle and gzip) on his 1.5M app to reduce its size to just 50kb.

    Check it out, hope it helps! :)

    EDIT: I've had a few runs with Angular since, and for me the best working approach was to use the angular-cli, which is at v1.0 when I'm writing this and when you run the build with --prod it does everything I wrote in my original post +a usual web server gzips your files. My complete site is under 1MB with this and his has a lot of functionality and also plenty third party stuff as well.
