🤔 What if there were a conference without talks? Just hanging out with OSS maintainers & builders, seeing what they’re working on, and learning cool stuff by actually talking to people. 🤯 What if hallway track turned into the whole event! 💡 @tannerlinsley.com is exploring it. Interested? ⬇️

It was a pleasure to be able to speak and share what I had learnt while reducing the bundle size of AG Grid.

With an Angular app that includes an Angular lib I am seeing different bundle sizes based on changes in the versions used. Lib 17 + app 19 smaller than lib 18 + app 19 But lib 20 + app 20 is significantly smaller than both. No code changes, just package.json Is this expected / known about?

What makes this even more interesting is that Chrome 136 looks to have improved things. But also the performance only really goes down when DevTools is open.

Stephen Cooper @scooper.dev · 08/05/2025

Ah looks like it has been raised as a Chrome issue but doesn't seem to have gone anywhere issues.chromium.org/issues/40488...

When profiling it looks to be related to the improved Error reporting that creates a JavaScript Error for each element. This really starts adding up if you have lots of elements on a page.

Stephen Cooper @scooper.dev · 07/05/2025

I am in the process of evaluating the changes in React performance between v18 and v19. Prod fairly stable. Dev 19 is significantly slower. I know we should never measure performance in Dev but in reality a lot of developers are doing just that! Has anyone else noticed this?

It's always great to hear how AG Grid has positively impacted not only the applications but a developer too! ❤️

I used JS private members for a long time, because they are awesome and really private. But I haven't thought about that the bundler can mangle the names, because they are private! All makes sense now... Thank you, @scooper.dev youtu.be/B8qrGmAbJFU

Smart Bear would have failed had I not listened to what customers were really saying. And almost always they were saying it via tech support, not via interviews, not via reviews, not via feature-submission forms. Support == product development

Tech Support is sales

Tech support isn’t just troubleshooting; it’s the face of your company. Which means it’s your brand, your positioning, and when it’s excellent, it is sales.

I have thought of switching them all private and then fixing the build for the ones that are actually required. Similar approach really 😝

Stephen Cooper @scooper.dev · 01/02/2025

Have heard of that, will have to check if it can work on the class level.

Stephen Cooper @scooper.dev · 01/02/2025

Does anyone know of a tool that can run over a Typescript code base and suggest possibly unused public methods? What to automate the process of finding unused methods following code changes with the aim of minimal bundle size. (I don't fancy doing find for 500 that are marked public...)

I am relieved to see this view point expressed from a testing authority as this is what we have started telling people in support. I can't imagine the time that has been lost to unexpected test failures, especially when "it works fine in my browser" www.epicweb.dev/why-i-won-t-...

I spent yesterday converting a load of AG Grid Angular examples to use signals. I love the DX and how easy it has become to enable OnPush with confidence. computed - the way you can just use signals and let Angular take care of the dependency updates is 🔥! Good work @angular.dev team!

Where can I find out more about how this is being used? Is this used to drop code during an application build?

And finally we have worked hard on providing codemods to do the majority of the upgrade for you, so do try and take advantage of that! Especially if you are an existing module user, the codemod will update all you import statements for you! ag-grid.com/react-data-g...

Also should call out the new Theming API which means no more need for importing those CSS files above your component/ somewhere in the app. Having the CSS in the code also means it is split per module adding even more savings. ag-grid.com/react-data-g...

Re-working our internals means we can now tree shake from a single bundle, greatly simplifying the path to minimal bundle size for our users. Not to mention the simplicity gains for us internally being able to work with just 2 packages instead of getting close to 20 separate ones.

Thanks for writing this update!

Stephen Cooper @scooper.dev · 05/12/2024

Looking forward to making that change soon. Just having to give users time to update their legacy build tools.

000

Stephen Cooper @scooper.dev · 05/12/2024

Do you also touch on the difference between build target output? For example using #private syntax but down leveling under es2022 is a big no no

110

Stephen Cooper @scooper.dev · 05/12/2024

Yes a little of that, but also some cases of removing ... spread operators as that looked to prevent the object being spread from being tree shaken if the target object was not used.

000

Stephen Cooper @scooper.dev · 05/12/2024

The difference can be huge, I am currently updating our library to make the code more "resilient" to these differences. The changes involved are so small which is even scarier to be honest as a library author. Definitely need strong tests around this as it can be so easy to regress.

120

Stephen Cooper @scooper.dev · 05/12/2024

Is this a trade off for speed of build times with esbuild becoming the default in v19? Or is this offset by people using deferable components and hydration?

bsky.app/profile/scoo...

010

Stephen Cooper @scooper.dev · 04/12/2024

Actually also looks like spreading into an object can cause items from the spread object not to be shaken. This is something I want to try just in esbuild itself to see if this is separate from Angular. But that might need to wait for tomorrow

110

Stephen Cooper @scooper.dev · 04/12/2024

Yes, definitely heard that too. In fact our bundle size tests caught a regression where an import like import * as _utils from 'path'; Caused none of that code to be tree shaken. This may also be dependent on the tsconfig build target and the format of the output code
