Angular Dart to JavaScript result way too big for production?


The "smallest compiled and minified Javascript" is 190KB today. We are tracking that number and care about deploy size and performance.

If you are seeing 650KB, there may be a bug somewhere; if you could provide details in an issue at https://github.com/angular/angular.dart we would be grateful.

Also, if you could share your use-cases and requirements it would help us in designing the system. e.g. we would love to understand the 100KB requirement.


What I have heard is a size of about 200KB+, never had a closer look myself. Dart targets bigger applications. It uses some boilerplate code of fixed size (this is generated no matter how big your custom code is) for emulating several of its generic functionality like classes. This doesn't pay off for small apps. The bigger the app gets the more this becomes an advantage.

They are still working for getting this better, but I guess you can expect only smaller improvements anymore.

How did you build your app to get this result?
