2 months ago Different projects have good reasons for enabling different flags. I think some of these would be ok to enable by default in the template:
- Some of the flags in the optimization guide will just make your application faster and smaller at the cost of a slower build (like
lto = true). I don't see a problem with enabling these in release mode - Other flags will make your application slower but smaller like
opt-level = "z". If you care more about performance this isn't ideal, but we can enable these by default with a comment in the template
But others could cause issues and should't be enabled by default:
- The nightly flags can also make the application much smaller, but are unstable because they can sometimes crash rustc. I don't think we should enable these by default because of the instability issues
- The panic flags (
panic = "abort"andstrip = true) can make your application smaller, but they make debugging much more difficult. I don't think we should enable these by default
Feature Request
We have a project that shows how to get a tiny dioxus: https://github.com/ealmloff/tiny-dioxus We have a guide on getting dioxus web as small as possible: https://dioxuslabs.com/learn/0.5/cookbook/optimizing
We should just do this by default rather than making optimizations an opt-in feature
