loading external libraries in spfx wevbpart
So I am using office-ui-fabric-react in my spfx webpart, and now I am preparing to do a final deploy for production use. My package is quite large so I want to load my external dependencies from my s...
btw, I am importing component from fabric like this:
import { MessageBar, MessageBarType, } from 'office-ui-fabric-react/lib/MessageBar';
import { MessageBar, MessageBarType, } from 'office-ui-fabric-react/lib/MessageBar';
So I thought maybe it was I was impoing from 'office-ui-fabric-react/lib/MessageBar' and not 'office-ui-fabric-react'
The appp also uses moment. So I also added this to the config.json (just as a test)
"externals": {"moment":"http://something"},I did gulp clean, and gulp bundle --shipbut moment was still in the bundleaccording to stats.html.I then removed moment.js from the dependencies section of my package.json and did gulp clean, and gulp bundle --shipNow I see from the stats that moment is not in my bundle.So I figure I need to also remove office-ui-fabric-react from my package.json. But when I do that , the project wont even build.Russel - did you find a solution for optimising the package when using Office UI Fabric react? I try to optimise my package and I also see this taking up 650 Kb in my package. I also use only a few components, but it looks like the whole fabric ui package is added.
