Distribution size is too big about gantt-schedule-timeline-calendar

[neuronetio]

I created an empty project (empty directory) and installed only angular-calendar and this project it is also large, about 36MB.

But I understand you, gantt-schedule-timeline-calendar has its own node_modules dir that shouldn't be there.
I will check it out.
Thank you.

I think that this is caused by cypress testing framework which is bundled with browsers for end to end testing.
But cypress is dev dependency only.

NPM quote:

By default, npm install will install all modules listed as dependencies in package. json . With the --production flag (or when the NODE_ENV environment variable is set to production ), npm will not install modules listed in devDependencies .

typescript is also heavy (also dev dependency)

Hi @neuronetio Thanks for a quick response.

You are right but if you look at other popular libraries like angular-calendar.
1.9M ./node_modules/angular-calendar
It does not required to download that big chunk of node_modules

So if someone installs your library from npm server it takes noticeable time as well as it takes 160MB of space. As you see in the attached screenshot angular-calendar just needs 1.9 MB.

I hope you got the issue. --production flag won't help here as it will just ignore our local package.json's devDependencies not yours.
