## Removing unused languages from dynamic import
|
||
|
|
||
|
If a locale is imported dynamically, then all locales from date-fns are loaded by webpack into a bundle (~160kb) or split across the chunks. This prolongs the build process and increases the amount of space taken. However, it is possible to use webpack to trim down languages using [ContextReplacementPlugin].
|
||
|
|
||
|
Let's assume that we have a single point in which supported locales are present:
|
||
|
|
||
|
`config.js`:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```js
|
||
|
// `see date-fns/src/locale` for available locales
|
||
|
export const supportedLocales = ["en-US", "de", "pl", "it"];
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
We could also have a function that formats the date:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```js
|
||
|
const getLocale = (locale) => import(`date-fns-locale/locale/${locale}.js`); // or require() if using CommonJS
|
||
|
|
||
|
const formatDate = (date, formatStyle, locale) => {
|
||
|
return format(date, formatStyle, {
|
||
|
locale: getLocale(locale).default,
|
||
|
});
|
||
|
};
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
In order to exclude unused languages we can use webpacks [ContextReplacementPlugin].
|
||
|
|
||
|
`webpack.config.js`:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```js
|
||
|
import webpack from "webpack";
|
||
|
import { supportedLocales } from "./config.js";
|
||
|
|
||
|
export default config = {
|
||
|
resolve: {
|
||
|
alias: {
|
||
|
"date-fns-locale": path.dirname(require.resolve("date-fns/package.json")),
|
||
|
},
|
||
|
},
|
||
|
plugins: [
|
||
|
new webpack.ContextReplacementPlugin(
|
||
|
/date-fns[/\\]locale/,
|
||
|
new RegExp(`(${locales.join("|")})\.js$`),
|
||
|
),
|
||
|
],
|
||
|
};
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
This results in a language bundle of ~23kb .
