JavaScript
the fast & the furious
Let's begin with the big question...
Are we alone in the Universe?
What happens after death?
Why should we optimize?
It's part of our duty as programmers... 👨💻

#1 Code splitting
<Route exact path="/" component={LazyLanding} />import React from 'react';
import Loadable from 'react-loadable';
import RouterLoading from '../RouterLoading.component';
const LazyLandingPage = Loadable({
loader: () => import('./Landing.page'),
modules: ['./Landing.page'],
webpack: () => [require.resolveWeak('./Landing.page')],
loading: RouterLoading
});
export default (props) => <LazyLandingPage {...props} />;React
Angular
const routes: Routes = [
{
path: 'customers',
loadChildren: './customers/customers.module#CustomersModule'
},
{
path: 'orders',
loadChildren: './orders/orders.module#OrdersModule'
},
{
path: '',
redirectTo: '',
pathMatch: 'full'
}
];

How about loading it just when I need it?
AKA: on button click
#2 Aggressive code splitting
onClick() {
import('../Swal.service').then(SwalService => {
SwalService.default(
/* ... */
);
});
}React & Angular
But that's not it! Thanks to my 💩 phone...

Include just the code you actually reference and use!

#5 SW Precaching
...because now the UX kinda sucks!
self.addEventListener('fetch', function onFetch(event) {
if (event.request.url.indexOf(location.origin) === 0) {
event.respondWith(cacheOrNetwork(event));
}
});Download from a Service Worker all the other
chunks & pre cache them.
#6 Server Side Rendering
-
100% SSR - which I didn't have time to implement 😅 -
or almost SSR - to help eliminate useless requests 😎
<body>
<script>
window.__PRELOADED_STATE__ = {
"user": {
"username": "iampava",
"email": "pava@iampava.com",
"avatarUrl": "/assets/images/avatars/i_avatar.png",
"hasFullSubscription": true,
"notifications": {
"unread": "20",
"list": null
}
},
"allTeams": [],
"currentTeam": null,
"joinTeam": null,
"exercises": {
