Decreasing bundle size

[Jonas-C]

Hi! At the time of writing, our usage of zag results in about a 400kb increase to our bundle size. The combobox package on its own is only a bit smaller than the entirety of headlessui/react. Are there any plans to decrease the bundle size?

Zag.js ships the dist and src files (for better debugging experience) hence the perceived size.

I’m sure you know that Bundlephobia isn’t a correct measure of bundle size. Can you share a bundle size analyzer result here?

If you’re relying on Ark, I recommend using a sub path import instead of importing from the root package.

Import { Combobox } from ark-ui/react/combobox

Sorry for the late reply! Ark seems to tree-shake just fine regardless of how we import it. It comes in at around 75kb uncompressed.

For reference, zag is at 389kb uncompressed. We only import zag indirectly from ark. I'm assuming the issue (if there is an issue) is either in arks usage of zag, or zag directly. The bundle analyzer results for the "combobox" file from zag is just about equal to the file size I get when compiling zag locally (0.5kb smaller in my bundle). Is it possible that it's actually tree-shaken?
