Investigate minification of js/css/html during deployment #181

Open jakemac53 opened 9 years ago

jakemac53 commented 9 years ago

Mangling names would be hard due to the js-interop, but we should be able to save a lot of space by just removing comments and collapsing whitespace. We should do this for html/css/js

Whatever solution we use here should also be applied to https://github.com/dart-lang/paper-elements

Andersmholmgren commented 9 years ago

Be nice if there is any way to apply tree shaking to the elements. Remove unused elements etc

jakemac53 commented 9 years ago

I agree, but we can't really do that until we have global transformers (see http://dartbug.com/17306). The application is the only thing that knows what it could delete, but it can't delete files in this package.

Shouldn't it be possible to just run vulcanize or some other JavaScript minification after pub build to achive this?

jakemac53 commented 9 years ago

Yes, but it would be nice if we could integrate that into the transformation process, eliminating any extra steps and standardizing how its done.
