Build without So.js

[jorilallo]

slug imports So.js which is huge. Thoughts on moving to webpack compiling to ignore this on the package level?

For library users: add new webpack.IgnorePlugin(/unicode\/category\/So/) to reduce build size.

Not 100% sure I follow but down for reducing package size by any means

[jorilallo]

@tommoor moving the ignore from library user (host application) to library build step. Now that I think about it, not sure if that would even work

@jorilallo I also want to reduce the size of this package, where do I add
new webpack.IgnorePlugin(/unicode\/category\/So/)? Is it on my own webpack config or on this library's?

And is So.js not needed?

[tommoor]

Hi, this issue is very old – the library no longer depends on slug.

I understand this is a full fledged editor and the size is reasonable but can you suggest anyway to reduce the file size? According to bundlephobia it is at 223KB minified+gzipped.

There's a way to reduce the size of lodash down to only the parts used as part of webpack bundling, I'd take a look at that. Would happily accept a PR.

Thank you for the quick response. I will take a look into that. Awesome editor by the way!
