Aargh! With the icons, the generated bundle is huge (2 MB). I tried subsetting the icons like import { fas } from '@fortawesome/free-solid-svg-icons';
library.add(fas.faCog);and then import { faCog } from '@fortawesome/free-solid-svg-icons';
library.add(faCog);but neither of these really made the bundle smaller. Finally I switched to deep imports import { faCog } from '@fortawesome/free-solid-svg-icons/faCog';
library.add(faCog);getting the size back down to 0.4 MB. It turns out Parcel still does not use tree shaking by default, you have to enable it with Well never mind, I have been meaning to get rid of the custom scrollbar for a long time. But, apparently, it also does not support source maps. Welp. |

Vector icons will look much crisper on HiDPI devices. Using them will also allow us to colour them in a dark theme. We use FontAwesome DOM loading script for now. We will be able to use the `icon` helper directly in JSX when we complete the switch to client side rendering. For size reasons, we are subsetting the icons, so when we want to use an icon not already used, we will need to add it here. But this was true for image files as well. We need to use deep imports for plug-ins, though, since Parcel’s tree shaking is shaky: #1013 (comment) We also no longer depend on parcel-plugin-static-files-copy, since we only used it for icons referrence by <img> tag from PHP templates (not picked up by Parcel).
