Decouple from yoga-layout-prebuilt

[giulioz]

We should build our version of yoga to reduce bundle size

[drcmda]

does yoga have stuff that we dont need?

[giulioz]

We have to investigate that, surely yes, also the current build includes a lot of useless C++ glue code that is really useless and it compiles to asm.js. Wasm binary would be way more efficient, even though it would need a binary to be served like draco.

that sounds amazing!

WASM binary takes time to load tho

but I doubt that yoga binary will be big

so I think it's ok to ship as wasm

[drcmda]

if it suspends it would be ok if it takes a little to load, similar to gltf assets, textures and so on.

Look at https://github.com/dead/typeflex
It's typescript port of Facebook's Yoga

It's only 23kb(gzip)
https://bundlephobia.com/package/typeflex@0.1.0

While yoga-layout-prebuilt 78kb(gzip)
https://bundlephobia.com/package/yoga-layout-prebuilt@1.10.0

@gut4 as i understand it has the same api? Looking pretty good, did you have any experience using it?

[saitonakamura]

Ok, it's not the same api, but potentially it can be migrated to without too much hassle (methink). However, I'd be happy to see some benchmarks
I started the barebone here https://github.com/saitonakamura/yoga-js-benchmarks, but if some will point me to already calculated results, i'd be grateful
