Summary 💡

I would like to request a reverse version of the top-level-imports codemod.

Given https://mui.com/material-ui/guides/minimizing-bundle-size/#option-one-use-path-imports Path Level Imports is the easiest solution when dealing with slowness but especially when using CRA it can be very hard to configure top-level-imports to run smoothly.

Examples 🌈

https://github.com/mui/material-ui/blob/master/packages/mui-codemod/src/v5.0.0/top-level-imports.js but in reverse

Motivation 🔦

I am experiencing slow tests and startup times and I was following the documentation here: https://mui.com/material-ui/guides/minimizing-bundle-size/#option-two-use-a-babel-plugin. However when adding the necessary steps tests will fail because of other third party modules that use Material and are incompatible with the change.

I would like to try out if turning back from top-level-imports to path-imports will solve our issues but in order to see the results I would need to manually rewrite a ton of code, and a codemod would be very helpful instead.

The feature is valid. @Primajin Just curious, do you still need it?

[Primajin]

Yes that would still be nice 🙏🏻

@ZeeshanTamboli Is there a roadmap / planning for this by any chance? Could this be prioritized given we are Premium Subscribers 😁 ?

@Primajin, there's no official roadmap for this. It would be great if you could give it a try on your own.

I’m facing the same issue and want to try to create a PR, but I can’t make any promises with respect to a timeline at this point. 😄
