Modernize and improve bundle size #1719

Open kantorcodes opened 11 months ago

kantorcodes commented 11 months ago

Problem

At present, the bundle is a whooping 1.4 megabytes big, or 296KB.

For most modern webapps that have to stay competitive and fast, this is a huge impediment. Users are forced to download a lot of unneeded JavaScript.

Solution

Modernize, and break out the bundle into multiple parts using tools like rollup.
Potentially migrate to TypeScript instead of Vanilla JS for improved type handling.

Alternatively

Create a "lean" version of the SDK that can cover most use cases for a frontend dApp, and a separate SDK for backend NodeJS applications.

Hey @kantorcodes, Thank you for your feedback. For sure we need to work in that direction. This means a lot of breaking changes. Keep in mind that such kind of changes might be implemented and included in v3 of the SDK. I will keep you updated as well about our plans and what might be done for your suggestions.

Thanks! Keen to hear how it goes

Are there any updates on this? The @hashgraph/hedera-wallet-connect package would benefit greatly from being able to tree shake and optimise bundles for client side browser usage.
