SNAPSHOT.min.js is huge about oil HOT 3 CLOSED

Hey mxhaupt,

Your question is correct and I would love to reduce the size! But it is actually not that easy to shrink it more (we tried alot, believe me), as this is already the core with only the things needed to be compliant for IAB Framework.

to explain a little bit about the size:

• It needs to be compatible for old browser, like IE9 -> you need some polyfills for a some stuff, even Base64 encoding
• It does contain decoding and encoding of the binary encoded consent-string of the IAB Europe TCF which in itself takes a lot of code and supports multiple cookie versions.
• It has multiple events and formats needed for AB-Testing and a headless mode

Do you see any things where you would say this could be loaded only if needed? Maybe I worked too long on this project and can't see points where to cut. Currently I can only think about getting rid of more Polyfills, but we already tried this and it takes days and a massive amount of testing.

I think with some tweeks we can reduce the size for the next release for like 10%, but 20KB is just not possible with the current feature set. I will try to create a map of the size allocation of different features.

Thank you @Waschnick for your quick response and feedback on this. Currently I have not investigated in detail yet regards what could be optimized / moved to chunks. The size allocation map could be indeed very useful.

an option would be to split up into two NPM packages: one core for dev integration and one full for runtime easy-to-use one. I also did this with my galen nom packages here.

If needed I can help on this issue
