rjs-report

Analyse your r.js optimization output. Especially useful when optimizing your app into multiple output bundles. See the size of each bundle and large duplicated modules.

Why?

Large web applications can be bundled into multiple chunks (or multiple bundles) using r.js optimizer. This can help speed up the initial load of the app since the browser needs to download smaller files as well as parse and evaluate less code. Splitting the app into separate dynamically loaded parts can also help in development since less modules need to be loaded in on any given page. However, sometimes when creating these bundles with r.js, you might need to tweak which bundle certain modules should go to. If a module is large, you could

• build it into the root bundle if it's needed frequently
• duplicate it into some of the page bundles to avoid weighing down the rest of the pages
• put it into it's own bundle and load it on demand

rjs-report helps you make those decisions by listing the sizes of bundles, modules and duplicates.

Features

• see the size of each bundle produced by r.js optimizer
• see duplicate modules that appear in more than one bundle
• see sizes of all your modules
• see all sizes ungzipped and gzipped
• list bundle and module paths with no sizing information for use with other tools

Programmatic API

All of the same commands and (most of the) options are available for use within node. The commands return JSON.

var path = require('path');
var rr = require('rjs-report');
 
var buildDir = path.resolve(__dirname, "./public/app-built");
 
rr.bundles(buildDir);
rr.bundles(buildDir, {plain: true});
rr.modules(buildDir, {minSize: 100000})

TODO

• support modules with plugins in the module id
• resolve paths that don't directly map to the file system (mapped/aliased modules)
