[Feature Request] Bundle public vendor packages

Feature Request

What’s the feature you think Backpack should have?

Bundle (out of the box) of public/packages in a single (minified) file. Currently the packages folder is ~3.7k files and this slows down every action where git is involved (e.g. my Github action to deploy the project takes ~2m only to copy the public files)

Have you already implemented a prototype solution, for your own project?

No

Do you see this as a core feature or an add-on?

Core

Ehy @tabacitu , yeah bundling everything is not a good idea, in fact in my previous answer I went with another way (trying to remove useless files from being copied).

I agree with you about the solutions, if you read my comment I “drafted” an idea like your first 2 points, that is providing user ability to install only needed packages field-per-field reducing assets and installing only needed ones.

Anyway I don’t want to press you guys for v4.1 haha, this was just a discussion for a future version, you’re doing already a great job!

Hello @danilopolani

Thanks for raising this issue, we are aware of some kind of problems with our bundle size.

We are trying to figure out the best solution for it, but ATM we can’t provide a fix.

I am going to postpone this to 4.2 launch when we will go tackle “non-bug”/features/improvements as of now we are under active bug cleaning in 4.1 version.

If you have any solution that might work just share with us, we are open to ideas how we can improve.

Wish you the best, Pedro
