reduce file size

[macrozone]

with meteor 1.5. and the new bundle-analyizer you get a good picture of the bundle size.

This library is huge (166kb) and contributes to 10% of the file size. Is it possible to reduce file size? we only need google analytics.

okgrow:analytics version 2.1.1

[macrozone]

maybe we can use something like meteor/meteor#8745 ?

The library also seems to pull in meteor-node-stubs for me which adds another 300kb.
I'm testing and reduced my bundle by about 600kb without okgrow:analytics.

@jlichti Just realised it is indeed this package that pulls in meteor-node-stubs, did you figure out why?

Got the same bundle-size reduction as you when removing it, huge!

[jlichti]

I didn't dig into it since it was easy for me to just replace with a npm package.

[Floriferous]

Which package did you use, and did it do any sort of automatic logging?

[jlichti]

I used this package: https://github.com/react-ga/react-ga

I'm using flow router on this project so I added a trigger:
FlowRouter.triggers.enter((context, redirect) => { logPageView(); ... });

And my logPageView() method is:
const logPageView = () => { ReactGA.set({ page: window.location.pathname + window.location.search }); ReactGA.pageview(window.location.pathname + window.location.search); };
