# Bundle Analyze

Bundle size rules enforced on 18 production projects. The 100KB gzip rule per component chunk exists because it maps directly to a ~300ms FCP regression on median mobile.

---

## 100KB Rule

Any dynamically-imported component chunk must be under 100KB gzip. (BLOCKING)

Measure with:
```bash
# Vite
npx vite build --mode production
# Output includes per-chunk sizes

# Next.js
ANALYZE=true next build
# Requires @next/bundle-analyzer
```

---

## Vite manualChunks Configuration

```typescript
// vite.config.ts
import { defineConfig } from 'vite'
import react from '@vitejs/plugin-react'

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [react()],
  build: {
    rollupOptions: {
      output: {
        manualChunks: (id) => {
          // Vendor chunk: React ecosystem
          if (id.includes('node_modules/react') ||
              id.includes('node_modules/react-dom') ||
              id.includes('node_modules/scheduler')) {
            return 'react-vendor'
          }

          // Routing chunk
          if (id.includes('node_modules/react-router') ||
              id.includes('node_modules/@remix-run')) {
            return 'router'
          }

          // UI library chunk (keep separate — large)
          if (id.includes('node_modules/@radix-ui') ||
              id.includes('node_modules/lucide-react')) {
            return 'ui'
          }

          // Data/validation chunk
          if (id.includes('node_modules/zod') ||
              id.includes('node_modules/@tanstack')) {
            return 'data'
          }

          // Charts (often 200-400KB — must be lazy)
          if (id.includes('node_modules/recharts') ||
              id.includes('node_modules/chart.js') ||
              id.includes('node_modules/d3')) {
            return 'charts'
          }

          // Date handling (use date-fns tree-shaking, not moment)
          if (id.includes('node_modules/date-fns')) {
            return 'dates'
          }
        },
      },
    },
    // Warn if chunk exceeds 150KB gzip (will fail CI at 200KB)
    chunkSizeWarningLimit: 150,
  },
})
```

---

## Next.js Dynamic Imports

```typescript
// components/HeavyChart.tsx — loaded only when visible
import dynamic from 'next/dynamic'

// Basic lazy load with spinner fallback
const HeavyChart = dynamic(() => import('./HeavyChartImpl'), {
  loading: () => <div className="h-64 animate-pulse rounded-lg bg-gray-100" />,
  ssr: false,  // charts often use window — disable SSR
})

// Named export pattern
const DataTable = dynamic(
  () => import('./DataTable').then(mod => mod.DataTable),
  { loading: () => <TableSkeleton /> }
)

// Conditional import — only load on client after interaction
export function DashboardPage() {
  const [showChart, setShowChart] = useState(false)
  return (
    <div>
      <button onClick={() => setShowChart(true)}>Show Analytics</button>
      {showChart && <HeavyChart />}
    </div>
  )
}
```

Rule: Any component over 50KB must be dynamically imported. (BLOCKING for Next.js)

## Common Bundle Killers

| Package | Problem | Replacement | Savings |
|---------|---------|-------------|---------|
| `moment` | 329KB min | `date-fns` (tree-shaken) | ~250KB |
| `lodash` | 531KB min | `lodash-es` (tree-shaken) or native | ~400KB |
| `@mui/material` (full) | 600KB+ | `@mui/material/Button` (path import) | ~400KB |
| `react-icons` (full) | 100KB+ | `lucide-react` or individual SVGs | ~80KB |
| `highlight.js` (full) | 900KB | `highlight.js/lib/core` + specific langs | ~700KB |
| `xlsx` | 750KB | `papaparse` for CSV, `exceljs` for xlsx | ~600KB |
| `pdfjs-dist` (full) | 2.5MB | Dynamically imported, worker in public/ | Use lazy |
| `@fullcalendar/*` | 400KB+ | Must be dynamic import | Use lazy |

---

## Import Discipline

```typescript
// BLOCKED: barrel imports from large packages
import { Button, Input, Dialog, Table, Badge } from '@/components/ui'
// If ui/index.ts re-exports 50 components, bundler may not tree-shake properly

// REQUIRED: direct imports for large packages
import { format, parseISO } from 'date-fns'
import { he } from 'date-fns/locale'
// NOT: import dateFns from 'date-fns'

// BLOCKED: default import of lodash
import _ from 'lodash'
// REQUIRED: named imports from lodash-es
import { debounce, throttle } from 'lodash-es'

// BLOCKED: importing entire icon sets
import * as Icons from 'lucide-react'
// REQUIRED: named imports only
import { ChevronDown, Search, X } from 'lucide-react'
```

## CI Bundle Size Check

```yaml
# .github/workflows/bundle-size.yml
name: Bundle Size

on: [pull_request]

jobs:
  bundle:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: actions/setup-node@v4
        with:
          node-version: '20'
          cache: 'pnpm'

      - run: pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
      - run: pnpm build

      # Fail if any JS chunk exceeds 200KB gzip
      - name: Check chunk sizes
        run: |
          python3 -c "
          import os, gzip, sys

          MAX_GZIP_KB = 200
          failed = []

          for root, dirs, files in os.walk('.next/static/chunks'):
              for f in files:
                  if not f.endswith('.js'):
                      continue
                  path = os.path.join(root, f)
                  with open(path, 'rb') as fh:
                      data = fh.read()
                  compressed = len(gzip.compress(data))
                  kb = compressed / 1024
                  if kb > MAX_GZIP_KB:
                      failed.append(f'{f}: {kb:.0f}KB gzip')

          if failed:
              print('Bundle size limit exceeded (200KB gzip):')
              for f in failed:
                  print(f'  {f}')
              sys.exit(1)
          else:
              print('All chunks within size limits.')
          "
```

Adjust `MAX_GZIP_KB` per project. 200KB is the hard CI limit; 100KB is the soft warning threshold.
